History
I studied at the University of Torino, Italy, and the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford in England. I moved to the US where I completed my doctoral studies at Wayne State University and completed my training in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute in Michigan. The experiences I gained from my studies in different countries nurtured and strengthened my discipline and love of knowledge of the human mind, as well as my appreciation of the many ways in which different cultures affect and shape our beliefs, behaviors and emotions. From my many years of studying and practicing as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I have achieved an ever deepening understanding of the human journey, with all its suffering, challenges and rewards, but I also have, more importantly, acquired an appreciation and trust in the human ability to be resourceful and resilient. Developing resiliency is now the main focus of my work with individuals and couples.
Specialties
I specialize in individual and couple psychotherapy, focusing on uncovering deep roots of symptoms and addressing them, leading to increased insight, fuller expression of emotions and more fulfilling relationships. I work with mood disorders (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder); life challenges, relational problems and adjustment disorders.
