About me
How I chose psychology
During high school, I thought I’d study psychology one day, even if it was just out of curiosity. I started out studying medicine, but it wasn’t meant to be. After two years, I left med school and went on to study psychology in Padua.
After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I studied marketing and worked in the field for a while. That experience helped me realize I wanted to return to psychology. I went on to earn a master’s degree in Applied Cognitive Psychology at the University of Padua.
I now work as a psychologist and am training to become a psychotherapist at the School of Integrative Psychotherapy (SPI) in Milan. I chose this program because it combines scientific rigor with attention to the relationship and to the person beyond their symptoms.
How I work
What to expect
The first consultation
We talk about what brought you here and what you’re looking for. You can ask me about how I work. Sometimes it takes more than one consultation to understand the situation and decide how to proceed.
If we decide to continue
We agree on what to focus on, taking into account what you’re going through and the context of your life. If what matters most to you changes, we can revisit our objectives together.
There’s no commitment to continue after the first consultation.
Before we meet
The free introductory call lasts about 10–15 minutes. It helps us decide whether to schedule a first consultation with me or whether another professional or service might be a better fit. It isn’t a session, and you can choose what to share.
The first consultation is paid because it’s where the work begins: we start to understand what brings you here and what might be useful to work on, even if you decide not to continue.
