As a first generation American-born woman and college student, I received many messages about womanhood, career choice, and psychotherapy that have informed my practice as a psychologist. I learned early on that immigrant groups have diverse experiences of integration that are influenced by many contextual factors, which can either help or hinder their experience of acculturation. This awareness sparked my interest in people, how their environments inform how they interact with the world and ultimately how we all perceive counseling. I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive counseling to help individuals navigate their challenges in an empowering way, and I can conduct sessions in Italian as well as English. I recognize that we all exist in a larger social and cultural context and our unique experiences shape our sense of who we are and how we are expected to behave. Knowing that something is culturally appropriate doesn’t necessarily mean that it is right for that person. It is important to give people the space they need to explore the factors influencing their identities so they can decide for themselves what parts of their cultural experience they want to take or leave behind. I became a counseling psychologist because I believe that a genuine, therapeutic relationship can foster truly remarkable healing. I value how safety and compassion can promote personal growth and lead to healthier relationships. I understood that counseling could help people deal with common life issues, such as stress and work-life balance, as well as more serious medical or mental health concerns, including infertility, chronic illness, trauma and anxiety. We all have internal strengths and goals, and I want to help people find the resources, skills and support they need to build on those strengths and begin living fulfilling, engaged lives.
