About Me

I offer a supportive space for individuals and couples to explore emotional wellbeing and sexual health. As a psychotherapist, I integrate effective techniques like EMDR to process difficult experiences. I also guide clients in Mindfulness-Based Interventions, offering practical tools for managing stress and fostering inner calm. These approaches help you find clarity and build resilience.

Approach

Sessions move between focused EMDR processing and grounded mindfulness exercises, paced to your readiness and practical needs. I offer short guided practices in session, reflective prompts between meetings, and clear checkpoints so progress feels tangible whether we meet in Ancona, Pesaro or online in English or Italian. Work is collaborative and task-oriented: exploring patterns around intimacy, cravings, mood or trauma, then testing small changes together. People navigating addiction, relationship strain or anxiety often find this steady, skills-and-insight approach helpful.
