Therapeutic approach 
My therapeutic approach is gestalt, integrated with the Jungian and Hillmanian analytical vision.
This integration allows for reaching the deepest psychic and experiential structures, thus making the work effective and long-lasting in its effects.
The depth and effectiveness are due to the fact that the understanding of psychological discomfort goes beyond the symptom, which, in my specific approach, is reinterpreted and placed within the personal and relational background of the individual, as a warning signal in a situation of distress that needs to be changed.
Moreover, the recovery of the more subterranean aspects embraces a more strictly analytical approach, also through the amplification of work on dreams, which sheds light on the most hidden parts of the individual.
Therefore, in addition to the awareness of psychological discomfort, we work proactively with the person who, with the support of the therapeutic relationship, finds new possible actions to transform themselves and their relationships, in a path of personal individuation.
In the final analysis,
we matter only because of the essence we embody,
and if we do not realize it, life is wasted.

Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a process that aims to deepen self-knowledge, identifying dysfunctional ways that prevent satisfying relationships with oneself and others.
The recovery of the ability to experience feelings, understand them, and express them appropriately and consciously aims to enable positive changes even in the realm of action.
This change materializes in achieving a greater state of personal well-being, as the acquisition and activation of resources and tools necessary to face past, present, or future problems.
It is not a superficial transformation, limited to the simple learning of new information or new “techniques,” but a substantial transformation, at both the thought and action levels.
Couple Psychotherapy
Couple therapy aims to restore, recover, or generate resources that allow the bond to become (again) a source of well-being for the partners rather than a cause of suffering, or to find a way to separate without harming themselves or their children.
Working with a therapist allows the couple to become aware of the implicit relational dynamics that characterize it, particularly those that maintain a state of suffering in the relationship.
For the partners, it is essential to understand what is happening between them and how each of them contributes to blocking the possibilities for change.
Through the therapeutic relationship, the therapist introduces elements useful to eliminate discomfort, modify the rigid and repetitive rules the couple enacts, and bring the precarious balance in which the couple finds itself to one more functional to it, leveraging the resources and potential of both partners.
Group Psychotherapy
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which the clinical intervention is conducted in a group setting.
On many occasions, the group acts as a “third element” in the therapeutic relationship, allowing patients to observe and better understand their relational patterns in a more natural and complex context than the simple dyadic interaction with the therapist.
Groups possess healing capacities that go far beyond overcoming the sense of alienation, social isolation, and the opportunity to share one’s discomfort with others.
The main goal is the expression of feelings and experiences in a protected environment and the attainment of awareness of one’s internal and interpersonal dynamics.
(…) how important it is for the therapist to retain the memory of his wound and the awareness that, in treating others, he is actually dealing not only with the patient but also with his own illness, with his own personal and existential discomfort.
The more the therapist believes he is healthy, and that the ‘flaw’ lies only in the person before him,
the greater the distance between the poles of the wounded-healer archetype.
