WHO I AM:
MY CAREER ABROAD:
When I was young I moved to South America, to Venezuela specifically, where I completed my studies and obtained a degree with honors in Clinical Psychology in 2011 (discussing a dissertation titled "Personality structure and conflicts with parenting figures in adolescents suffering from oncological pathologies". I then continued my training in areas such as Psychodiagnostics, Psychoanalytic Theory and Technique, and Psychology in the healthcare/hospital sector.
In 2012 I began practicing privately at the "Scalabrini Medical Center", while in 2013 I started working as well at the "Teaching Institute of Urology", a medical/academic hospital, in both as a clinical psychologist.
In 2015 I established the first operational unit of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry in the Scalabrini Medical Center, directing an interdisciplinary team made up of a psychologist, psychiatrist, educational psychologist and speech therapist. Being an institution created with the aim of operating in and for the community, I promoted multiple screening and educational programs in mental health, addressing issues such as Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Couple Problems and Parenting.
At the same time, in 2015 I was assigned a professorship at the Arturo Michelena University (San Diego/Valencia) on the subject of Eating Disorders, in the faculty of Psychology.
Likewise, I also had the opportunity to participate in events and initiatives of an academic nature, such as conferences and conventions aimed at academic and non-academic public.
BACK TO ITALY
In 2018 I moved back to Italy, where in 2020 I obtained the validation of my foreign Psychology degree from the Italian Ministry of Health, and in 2021 I begin and eventually obtain my specialization in Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
I currently work as a Psychologist and Psychotherapist in the CENTRO MEDICO SANT'AGOSTINO in Milano Cadorna, Missori and Foppa Offices, and in private practice in the POLO MILANESE DI PSICOLOGIA office (Via Coluccio Salutati 5, Milano) and online.
