Who I Work With
Many people who come to therapy with me are functioning well on the outside, while struggling much more privately on the inside.
You may be anxious, overloaded, emotionally stuck, or tired of repeating patterns that no longer feel workable. You may be dealing with pressure at work, relationship difficulties, intrusive thoughts, burnout, low mood, or a major life transition. For many of my clients, expat life in Paris can also make these experiences feel sharper: distance from home, questions of identity, isolation, language, culture, and the pressure to keep everything together.
I work with adults in English and Italian, both in person in Paris and online. Many of the people I support are expats, international professionals, and people who want therapy that is thoughtful, structured, and practical without becoming cold or clinical.
My role is not to offer quick fixes, motivational slogans, or simple advice. Therapy is a collaborative space where we look carefully at what is happening, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and build practical psychological skills you can use outside the therapy room.
My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT. In practice, this means learning how to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, clarify what matters to you, and take steps towards a life that feels more honest, flexible, and workable.
Above all, my approach is grounded in real life.
My Path into Therapy
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent years working in corporate finance.
That experience shaped the way I understand pressure, responsibility, performance, uncertainty, and the internal cost of always needing to appear capable. I know that many people who seek therapy are not “falling apart.” Often, they are highly functional people who have spent a long time carrying too much internally while continuing to cope externally.
My own life has also involved significant transition and change. I have lived across Italy, Ireland, and France, rebuilt life in new countries, navigated major personal changes, and experienced the challenges that come with identity, uncertainty, relationships, and starting again.
Those experiences do not replace professional training, and therapy is never about making the therapist the centre of the story. But they do shape the way I work.
I care about therapy that is psychologically serious, practical, human, and connected to the realities people actually live.

How I Work
My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that focuses on building psychological flexibility.
In practice, this means helping people:
-
understand the patterns keeping them stuck;
-
work differently with difficult thoughts and emotions;
-
loosen the grip of overthinking, avoidance, anxiety, or self-criticism;
-
reconnect with what matters to them;
-
and take meaningful action in real life.
I do not see therapy as endless analysis or passive conversation.
Therapy should help you build practical skills you can actually use outside the therapy room — especially during moments of uncertainty, emotional difficulty, pressure, or change.
The aim is not to become a perfect or fearless version of yourself.
The aim is to build a more flexible, workable, and honest way of living.
Who I Typically Work With
I work with adults from a range of backgrounds, but many of my clients are:
-
expats and internationally mobile professionals;
-
people navigating anxiety, overthinking, or intrusive thoughts;
-
high-functioning professionals under pressure;
-
people dealing with burnout, relationship difficulties, or life transitions;
-
individuals who feel emotionally stuck despite appearing successful externally;
-
analytical or reflective people who want a structured, practical approach to therapy.
I offer therapy in English and Italian, both online and in person in Paris.
What You Can Expect
I aim to offer a space that is supportive, thoughtful, and non-judgemental — but also direct and practical.
Many people come to therapy because they are tired of going in circles internally. They may already understand their problems intellectually, but still feel stuck in the same emotional or behavioural patterns.
Our work together is not about becoming endlessly self-analytical. It is about helping you respond differently when difficult thoughts, emotions, or situations arise.
That process can involve reflection, challenge, humour, experimentation, emotional honesty, and practical skill-building.
Above all, therapy should help you build a life that feels more connected to what matters to you.
Start With a Conversation
Speaks: Italian, English
If you are considering therapy, you do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
An introductory conversation can help us explore what is happening, what you are looking for, and whether this approach feels like a good fit for you.
