I am a registered graduate member psychologist within The British Psychological Society and the Italian Psychological Society, in Rome. I am also a Certified Behavior Analyst within the Italian register.

In January 2023 I started my psychotherapy school in Rome at SCUPSIS.

I obtained a degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychological Rehabilitation in Rome, Italy. I started to work with people with autism and learning disabilities in 2013, while I was still studying, and I developed a strong knowledge in ABA (Applied Behavioural Analysis) and Verbal Behavior approaches and methodology since then.

My work integrates clinical psychology, neuroscience, and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), with a particular focus on autism and neurodivergent profiles. I adopt a relational and developmental approach, aiming to understand how individuals experience the world while supporting emotional regulation, autonomy, and meaningful participation in daily life.

I am highly trained in ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) and ESDM (Early Start Denver Model) in different settings such as mainstream school, nursery, ABA school and 1:1 home therapy.

I work as an online and in presence psychologist in both Italian and English.

Thanks to my job, I also developed a good knowledge of the British Sign Language . Sign Language is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expression, and body language. 

Sunnyside Ealing Club

In October 2019, I started with a colleague of mine, Serena Salamino, an afternoon club in London for children with special needs: Sunnyside Ealing Club.

They can meet kids with similar interests and maybe make some friends. Becoming part of a group can help to build their confidence, social skills and generalise what they learn in the everyday life.

Me and my books

In addition to my academic and professional background in Psychology, I have had a strong passion for reading and writing from when I was a child. I studied to become a journalist and free-lance writer and in 2013, I took my exam to become a Professional Journalist.

This helped me to bring together my profession as a psychologist and my passion for books and all things editorial. I write reviews of different books and different genres; for adults, for children, for teachers, for parents and, starting from there, I go on to describe a psychological disorder or a series of events related to the characters and the story.

What else?

Having lived in London for several years, my professional journey has been shaped by diverse clinical and cultural perspectives, which continue to inform the way I think about care, education, and mental health.

Alongside my clinical work, I contribute to international training and facilitation contexts. I deliver modules on child development and behavioural understanding within the Music Tree Teacher Training programme, an immersive experiential pathway for educators combining pedagogy, movement, improvisation and reflective practice. I also work within the Resonance Retreat, a professional development space for teachers and facilitators where clinical, educational and embodied approaches are integrated in group learning and supervision.

In addition, I am involved in school-based educational projects in the field of sex and affective education, supporting children and adolescents in developing awareness, language and understanding around relationships, emotions and boundaries.

I am deeply committed to psychoeducation and to promoting more nuanced and respectful conversations around neurodivergence, development, and emotional well-being.
