What I'm looking for

Italian psychologist offering online consultations to Italian-speaking clients abroad. I support children and adults with emotional and adjustment difficulties, parents facing parenting or couple challenges, and families of children with Autism or ADHD. I also provide individual psychological consultations and parent training.

I'm a psychologist in private practice, providing assessment and treatment for specific learning disorders, study-strategy support, and psychoeducational interventions for children and families.

I've also worked across primary and lower-secondary schools, including ICS Filippino Lippi and ICS Iva Pacetti, as a support teacher, learning-enhancement teacher, and PNRR mentor. My work supports inclusion, educational guidance, and reducing school dropout.

I deliver Therapy of Exchange and Development (TED) for children aged 2–6 with autism spectrum and neurodevelopmental disorders, with attention to social reciprocity.

My background includes coordinating study-support projects at Biblioteca Lazzerini, literacy-development workshops at Conservatorio San Niccolò, and summer camps for children. I'm registered with the Order of Psychologists of Tuscany and hold a second-level master's degree in Learning Psychopathology.
