I am a licenced Psychologist in Italy where I completed a Degree and Master Degree in Psychology General and Experimental, a state exam and a Specialization in Child Adolescent and Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, a baby observation for two years and a child observation for one year, four clinical cases, a preschool child, a latency one, an adolescent and an adult, three for two years and one for one year in supervision. I had a private practice in Italy and some professional experience in the local mental health services for children and adults.

I moved to London where I worked in a therapeutic community for 5 years and as child psychotherapist in a hospital in London.

In the mean time I open a private practise and joined the program at IIPT.

I have three personal analysis with IPA psychoanalysts, one in Italy, one in London and one in Washington DC. I am an advance candidate in the adult program IIPT where I completed two cases of two years, and I joined the child analytic program where I completed one case for one year.

I am in the IPA teleanalysis group, I presented at the IPA precongress about my offices in UK, Italy and Nederland.

I work mainly with adults, but also with children and adolescents, couples and families. Also I have experiences with groups.

I hold a licence in Italy as psychologist and psychotherapist, I am registered in UK at the UKPC, in Ireland at the ICP, and in Nederland as psychologist NIP and psychotherapist NAP. I am in the process to enter the Big register in the Nederland.

In my request to join the Faculty at IPI the desire is to bring my personal and professional experience in the field and to share it with people willing to learn.

In this sense it is a sense of gratitude toward the institute.

I have three offices in three Countries in Europe, Italy, Uk and Nederland where the patient can access the places in person and connect with me in videoconference.

I control the lights, heaters and accesses to the places remotely.

I cannot define myself as an object relation psychoanalyst because I went beyond that theoretical approach, due to be italian and trained mainly as a child psychoanalyst.

I attach my CV and some paper published.
