I approach therapy with the understanding that our mind and body are not separated but aspects of a unified whole. Our emotions and life history are held and manifest in the body and change begins when we acknowledge and work with our full being. Through a process that goes beyond talk, I help my clients bring attention to how their concerns effect how they breathe, feel, move, think and express themselves, as I support them in gradually exploring the underlying emotional terrain.
Clients report to experience more freedom and power; have more capacity to tolerate and resolve old pain, conflict and trauma; to experience more pleasure in living and to relate to self and others in more satisfying ways.
I am an Italian psychologist and Bioenergetic therapist specializing in anxiety, depression and trauma. I offer therapy for individuals, couples and elderly. I am also specializing in immigration related issues. In addition to psychotherapy I run a weekly Bioenergetic movement group. Contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

Groups
Bioenergetic Movement Group
Inspired by the work of Dr. Alexander Lowen, we work with the energy patterns of the body through breathing, stretching, grounding and emotional expression to relax muscles and challenge the chronic holdings in our bodies. We focus on the feelings and physical sensations that arise when tensions are released and our physical and emotional systems are enlivened. These experiential movement groups facilitate change on a deep body level: deepen the breathing, allow the body to regain its natural aliveness and vitality and increase awareness of the physical/emotional connection. They help alleviate anxiety, depression, chronic pain and sleeping problems.
