Presentation

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst with 25 years of experience, marked by training, internships, seminars, and clinical experience in the fields of psychoanalysis, brief and analytical psychotherapy, as well as couples therapy.
I also hold a DEA (postgraduate degree) in psychological and educational sciences concerning anorexia, and I am the author of several books. I welcome children, adults, adolescents, and couples in crisis or with specific issues for consultations in French and Italian.
I have undergone personal analysis and training in several psychoanalytic associations in Italy and Belgium. However, over time, I have also opened myself to other therapies that can meet the specific needs of certain patients and issues.
This therapeutic enrichment seems important to me. It allows me to adapt therapies to the patient's issues rather than the other way around.
The ongoing references to neuroscience led me to take an interest in it. I then became involved in neuropsychoanalysis, a new discipline that fosters dialogue between neuroscience and psychoanalysis, to which I have dedicated two books.
This new enrichment helps me in the management of certain issues such as phobias, depression, burnout, and in writing psychological assessments where I take into account both metric data, which are more objective, and individual-specific data, which are more subjective.
