I graduated in Clinical Psychology at ISPA, however where I learned to be a better professional was when I embraced motherhood. Being a mother allowed me to consolidate theoretical knowledge with lived experience and even more felt. It is without a doubt the biggest challenge I have ever faced!
I hope that with all my dedication and experience gained over several years of clinical practice, I will be able to be creative enough to positively transform my suffering and that of others. And for believing that, from a very early age, we began to draw ourselves with the paints that were given to us (parents, caregivers, teachers, educators,..) I also believe that we can, with the same paints, choose to redo the drawing and reinvent ourselves! Together with you (children and young people) and with those around you, we will embark on a small journey where we will pass through several stops, I will be just a small part that will be in your lives to guide you and, thus, manage to find your path.
