Gottman Referral Network

About

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. My practice is focused exclusively on couples and relationship difficulties. They typically are international and intercultural, expats and LGBTQIA+, navigating diversity and life complexities across cultures, languages, and borders.

My work draws on the Gottman Method — Levels 1, 2, and 3 trained, the first certified clinician in Italy — which I integrate with Stan Tatkin's PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), Sue Johnson's EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and a diversity-affirming perspective.
I am also a certified Gottman Seven Principles Workshop Leader and a Bringing Baby Home Educator, and I'm specifically trained by the Gottman Institute in dealing with infidelity, trauma, and intimate partner aggression.

I work with couples to build mutual alliance with each partner's individual story — i.e. trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, and grief and to deal with infidelity.

My background includes serving as a court-appointed technical advisor for the Civil Court of Rimini in parental competency and family evaluations. I founded AltreStrade, a social cooperative that developed alternative interventions for children in multi-problem families. I am a member of DBT Italy, ICEEFT, and the American Psychological Association.
