What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining clinical practice and neurological research, using EEG and neuropsychology to improve patient outcomes and advance translational research.

I am a clinical psychologist and researcher with experience in neuropsychology, EEG biomarker research, and applied clinical work in hospital and school settings.

I have worked as a clinical psychologist in neurological and psychiatric hospitals, served as a school psychologist across multiple schools, and held assistant professor roles teaching clinical and general psychology.

My research background includes EEG biomarker work at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology in Rome and publications on depression, social distance, and disability attitudes; I analyze EEG data using MATLAB and LORETA.

I combine clinical assessment, psychotherapy techniques (including CBT and ABA training), mindfulness approaches, and program development to improve psychological wellbeing across ages and settings.
