About Me

I am a passionate Psychologist and Psychotherapist, offering a non-judgemental and empathetic space for adults and adolescents. My core aim is to be truly congruent, creating a genuine environment where you feel fully heard. We can work together to understand your unique challenges, fostering a sense of clarity and growth. This approach suits those seeking an authentic and supportive guide through life's complexities.

Approach

Driven by genuine empathy and authenticity, my sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace that keeps your concerns central and manageable. Based in Gallarate and Milan, I work in English and Italian and offer online appointments so we can maintain continuity between meetings when useful. Sessions mix short experiential moments with practical skill-building and reflective exploration, tailored to the rhythm of adolescents or adults and often followed by small, bite-sized practices to try at home. People seeking steady, practical support to feel clearer and more confident tend to find this approach helpful.
