About Me
With 17 years of experience and an integrative approach that combines CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness, I help individuals develop practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions.
Each therapeutic journey is tailored to guide you toward greater self-awareness and resilience, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and well-being.
True healing takes place when one is deeply listened to, with empathy and without judgment. Every journey to well-being is unique, and together, we can find the path that’s right for you.

A Professional Journey
I am an Italian psychologist and psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience in mental health. Based in London since 2018, I have expanded my professional expertise in an international context. I work with many Italian expatriates, offering them the opportunity to embark on a therapeutic journey in their native language. I collaborate with colleagues in both London and Italy, providing hybrid therapy options, including online and in-person sessions.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, grounded in a solid cognitive-behavioural (CBT) foundation and enriched with techniques from EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Mindfulness.
I offer individual psychotherapy and consultations, both short- and long-term, at my private practice.
