This is

Beyond Acceptance: A Space of True Expertise

My practice is built on three core values: pragmatism, transparency, and empathy. I believe in the simple, powerful act of dialogue to create meaningful change. But for dialogue to be truly effective, you must feel safe. As a published academic researcher on BDSM and sexuality, I offer more than just an "affirming" space; I provide a space of deep, non-judgmental expertise. You can bring your whole self here—your identity, your desires, and your relationships—and be met with pragmatic, respectful, and knowledgeable guidance, free from the need to educate your therapist or fear judgment.

Your Experience & What to Expect

A Pragmatic, Transparent, and Empathetic Path

Path-1673.svg

1. The First Session: Connection & Clarity

Our first session (50-60 mins) is a pragmatic and open conversation, not an interrogation. It's an opportunity for us to get to know each other beyond just "the problem". We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, you can ask any questions you have, and we'll collaboratively explore how my person-centered approach can help you.

2. The Cognitive-Interactionist Approach

My method is cognitive-interactionist, which means our work is pragmatic and rooted in a social constructionist view. We focus on our dialogue in the "here and now" to understand your patterns. I offer my services in Italian, English, and Spanish, working full-time in private practice with international clients online via Zoom or Google Meet.

3. Experience Beyond Private Practice

My pragmatic approach is built on 5+ years of diverse, real-world experience. I have worked in a wide range of challenging environments, including psychiatric units, addiction services, shelters for people experiencing homelessness, and group homes for minors. This has given me a deep, non-judgmental understanding of complex human stories, trauma, and anxiety from all walks of life.

Our Process

A Space of Trust & Expertise

My practice is built on a foundation of trust and proven expertise. I am guided by core values of pragmatism, transparency, and empathy, ensuring our work is always open, honest, and focused on you. With over 5 years of diverse clinical experience and specialized, published research in sexuality, I offer a uniquely affirming and knowledgeable space for your journey.
