I am a Psychodynamic oriented Clinical Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. I have built my experience as a judge's expert in the Juvenile Court, where I have worked on parenting, adoptions, traumatized children, conflicting families, sexual and emotional abuse, domestic violence and various crimes. I have worked extensively with Neurodivergence, ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorders. In the UK, I have worked as Lead Clinical Psychologist for a healthcare institution, where I have treated particularly critical cases. In the Middle East, I have spent more than 10 years in a multicultural environment. This gave me the opportunity to work with people from diverse cultural contexts and learn the importance of integrating culture, religion and personal background in my therapeutic approach.
How is it possible to judge someone when you understand the reasons behind behaviours? In our journey together, you will discover a different perspective that will help you rediscover yourself, drastically improve your self-esteem and love yourself more.
I firmly believe that everyone can have the opportunity to have a happy and peaceful life. My primary tool is empathy that is the foundation of a warm and welcoming therapeutic approach.
