During my career, I have assisted clients presenting with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, relationship issues, interpersonal issues, work-place issues, personality disorders, grief, life transitions, personal development, learning difficulties, and addictions.
My previous experience includes working with individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. My first language is Spanish, so I can provide therapy in this language and I am also fluent in Italian.
I look forward to meeting with you!"
