AUTHOR
I’m a licensed, internationally trained psychologist and somatic psychotherapist. A Certified Hakomi Therapist & Teacher, I have also travelled the world seeking out effective healing techniques from Eastern and Western schools of thought, so my clients can count on a fully personalized, caring and effective approach to their mental health.
I arrived at psychology after a 20-years career as a voice and movement teacher and teacher educator.
I completed my 4-year training in Hakomi MSP at the Hakomi Institute in Mallorca.
Hakomi MSP is an innovative approach to psychotherapy that involves mindful exploration of a person’s mind and body as a way to access and potentially heal deep emotional wounds.
I also draw on CBT, which I trained in at the Beck Institute in Rome, and the various mindfulness-based techniques that now form part of CBT itself.
I had the privilege to work as a body-oriented therapist at the M.E.T.A Counseling Clinic in Portland, Oregon (USA). That experience was both personally and professionally enriching as I was able to apply Hakomi extensively and see the extraordinary power of its gentle yet deep approach.
Sono la prima Certified Hakomi Therapist & Teacher italiana.
my work as such in the US has allowed me to consolidate and expand my skillset to include a series of Hakomi-informed approaches.
In addition, I integrate elements from the following approaches into my daily practice:
- Primary Attachment Therapy
- Recreation of the Self
- Hakomi in Couples Counselling
- Trauma Resolution
My Italian qualifications include:
- ATC in Clinical Sexology (AISC)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Levels 1 and 2 (EMDR Italia)
- Mindfulness Yoga (Beck Institute)
I am currently broadening my knowledge base on couples and sexuality by training for an AISSIC Passion & Presence certification.
Alongside my private practices in Rome and Munich, I give sessions to people all over the world via online psychotherapy.
In addition to working with patients, I teach at both the Hakomi Institute in Mallorca and the Beck Institutes at Rome and Caserta, holding various training sessions and workshops. I am a mindfulness instructor and supervisor at the same institute.
I have my office in Rome, Italy and Munich, Germany.
I am engaged at the forefront of spreading Hakomi and somatic approaches across Italy and the European continent,
as I strongly believe that these treatment techniques can dramatically enhance how we care for people struggling with mental health issues, as well as those wanting to embark on a process of self-discovery.
I enthusiastically share my knowledge with the scientific community and the public, appearing regularly as a public speaker at national and international conferences and meetings.
My Values
You already possess everything you need to heal old wounds, grow and express yourself fully.
I heartily believe that each of us already possesses everything that we need to express ourselves fully and independently, and therefore lead a fulfilling life. Often, however, the traumatic events, social, cultural and/or family pressures that we experience build up within us, clouding our perception of freedom and capability in our personal lives and relationships. We often feel trapped in automatic behaviors that act upon us without our being aware of them. Consequently, we are often trapped into trances, which “live” us without being aware.
Together we can work to discover and unleash the essential spark that you hold within
The psychotherapy room is the place in which you and I will work together to discover which spark within you wants to shine, to unleash it and free it from the beliefs and patterns of behavior that quench its light.
Together we will find a way for you to feel positively oriented in life
Our goal will be to find your individual way of feeling positively oriented in life, empowering you to handle all its joys and pains, all its lights and shadows. You will be in full control of this process as the best expert on yourself.
You are unique. Therefore, I will not work with you following a one-size-fits-all solution
Every human being is unique. I won’t apply any pre-established protocols of interventions. I won’t follow any agenda. We will make a journey together whose final destination will become clearer along the process, leading us to know and understand you better.
My goal is to help you discover your most authentic and balanced self
My job is to listen to you, support you and place the right tools for you at your disposal. I will provide you with a warm, empathetic and respectful attitude towards whatever emerges along your journey.
