Biography

Degree in Experimental Psychology (old system) from the University of Florence in 2005.

Undertook post-graduate training first at the prison in San Gimignano and then at the Livorno prison, assisting with interviews, group therapy for inmates and administering psychological tests.

In 2006 she completed a training course in Rome in Legal Psychology, Psychopathology and Forensic Psychodiagnostics in civil and criminal law, and in 2007-2008 she graduated from a level II master’s degree at the Cattolica University in Milan on technical and psychological counselling in the judicial field.

Since 2007, she has carried out various work experiences, from prison to the family home for single mothers under court guardianship, to the therapeutic community, to welfare work in the legal-criminal field.

From September 2008 to 2014, she was part of the research group on affective temperaments at the University of Pisa under the direction of Dr. Giulio Perugi, in particular for a study on Anxiety and Impulsivity disorders, both on the clinical phenomenological and neurobiological side. She is co-author of scientific publications on clinical psychiatry.

In 2012, she obtained her diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy at the APC in Grosseto.

In 2017, she began to divulge on social networks with the aim of normalising the figure of the psychologist, addressing everyday issues that were still taboo for many. In recent years she has obtained other certificates such as ACT – Acceptance Therapy and has just obtained Level II of SELF Compassion Focus Therapy.

She has collaborated with various brands including Triumph, Tena Lady, Rocchetta and Meetic and also on various awareness campaigns on violence against women and the importance of lung cancer prevention. She has been in several news magazines as a columnist on important topics such as relational self-esteem in times of Covid and how the role of it has changed since the pandemic.

She is the author of three books.

She practises freelance in Pisa at her practice and consults online.
