Business Owner

I’m a licensed psychologist. My professional life started in Italy. I permanently relocated to San Francisco in 2011.

I’ve been described as generous, independent, and determined. I am extremely sensitive, a compassionate learner, and a critical thinker. I appreciate sharing the world with others, and I tend to build a high level of trust with my clients. I’m both structured and flexible in the way I work. I’m committed to understanding you, including your culture. I work with people from a variety of backgrounds including race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
