My Story
I’ve always been deeply curious about how the human mind works and have felt a natural calling to support and uplift others.
That’s what led me on the path I’m on today.
I’m half Greek and half Italian, and growing up bicultural sparked a deep fascination with how people from different backgrounds think, communicate, and navigate the world.
I’ve also witnessed how easily misunderstandings arise when people come from different perspectives: how one person can mean one thing and another interpret it differently. These moments have always reminded me how intricate and nuanced human psychology truly is.
I began my academic journey at the University of Padua, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Psychology and studied abroad for a semester at the University of Lisbon. After completing my degree, I immersed myself in dynamic psychology, holding courses at the University of Turin and exploring the power of our inner worlds.
Later, I returned to Padua to complete my master’s in Cognitive and Applied Psychology, deepening my understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and the brain intertwine.
Today, I love blending insights from psychoanalysis and dynamic psychology with discoveries from neuroscience and cognitive psychology.
I spent a year providing psychological support to immigrant children and those from abusive families in a school setting, and later offered assistance at a center for individuals with disabilities in Padua.
Since last year, I’ve also established my own private practice, where I continue to offer therapy and psychological support.
Each step of this journey has reinforced my belief in the power of human connection and the profound impact we can have on each other’s lives.
My Approach
In my practice, I believe that our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions are deeply influenced by unconscious processes and unresolved conflicts.
I see the mind as a complex system, where what lies beneath the surface often holds the key to understanding current struggles. Every symptom, pattern and emotional challenge has a deeper root cause, often rooted in past experiences, unconscious beliefs, and early life events.
My work focuses on uncovering these underlying forces, bringing them into conscious awareness, and understanding how they continue to shape behavior today.
I aim to help people make sense of their inner world, gain insight into their emotional lives, and work through unresolved issues that may be hindering their growth and well-being.
I am also interested in how the mind and body are interconnected. Our thoughts and emotions are not just abstract ideas; they have a tangible, biological basis that affects our nervous system, brain function, and overall health.
By integrating insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, I strive to explain how unconscious processes are also influenced by brain activity and physiological responses.
This holistic view allows me to address a more complete and practical approach to therapy.
Ultimately, my work aims to help people explore what lies beneath the surface of their lives, to uncover the roots of their emotional patterns, understand their true motivations, and find clarity and purpose.
My goal is not only to help individuals gain insight into themselves but also to empower them to create meaningful, lasting change that leads to a more authentic and
fulfilling life.
