FOUNDER

In my professional experience I have always been concerned by the development of individuals, groups and organizations. 
In more than 15 years of living and working in different countries (UK, US, Latin America, Switzerland, Spain, Dubai) I’ve got a significant experience on transcultural differences, change, innovation, creativity. From my work with multicultural and multilingual teams as well as from my anthropological background, I learned that living abroad you are confronted with the need to review and revise your ‘normal’ behaviors, habits and ways of thinking; which is not always easy, but can lead to the discovery of new energies, meanings and motivations.
At the beginning of my career I worked for several years as a corporate Human Resources Manager and as a consultant in Future Concept Lab, an international laboratory on Market Trends and Innovation. From these experiences I learned how much our emotions, expectations, fears and vulnerabilities influence our working relationships.
As a psychoanalyst at the C.G Jung Institute for Analytical Psychology in Zurich, of particular interest to me is the relevance the recognition of differences has in a process of individuation and the extent to which our individual growth and development is influenced by the ‘unknown other’ – both the ‘unknown’ parts of ourselves, as well as the encounter with people from different backgrounds and cultures.
My passion is driving people through those ‘moments of passage’ we often experience in life, when looking into yourself can lead to the discovery of hidden potentialities and bring a tournament in life. My project aims to connect the creative and imaginative potential of dreams with the anthropological perspective of the encounter between cultures, using the analytical setting to support the development of an individuation process.
Working together, we will give space to this – a journey of self-discovery informed by your emotions, dreams, anxieties, that are all part of experiencing and learning from new life circumstances.

My “mantra”

“The most precious gift strangers can bring is their difference; and if you focus on the divergent and the dissimilar, you will have, you too, illuminations…” (Fatema Mernissi)

PSYCHOLOGIST & RESEARCHER 

I started my professional career in Turin in 2000 in corporate training, as a multimedia designer for e-learning products and coordinator of company survey projects. I attended in 2008 a post-graduate Master in Qualitative Methods for Social and Marketing Applied Research in Milan, starting afterwards a long lasting collaboration with Doxa and other research institutes in the fast moving consumer goods and the pharmaceutical markets. Ariele-Association of Psychosocioanalysis, made me more aware of relational dynamics, allowing me to develop a new perspectives on research and new methodologies focused on social change. Since 2018 I started a new adventure at the Bicocca University in Milan as Coordinator of a new service for Internships and Adjunct Lecturer for the HR Training and Development Master’s Degree.

Approach to the research

Since university I’m interested in the “clinical” research approach, that is, according to the greek term klinè = to incline itself towards somebody. Listening to people implies the capacity of empathy: understanding a point of view and the whole set of beliefs, attitudes, desires and fears that beyond the appearance hide the emotional barriers, to get to understand a phenomenon in its context.The qualitative tools I have been using overtime are: ethnographic research, in-depth interviews, semiotic analysis, narratives, Listening Post and Social Dreaming, integrating and enriching my practice with the different techniques and the quantitative research. I like contaminations, new ideas, hybridized approaches where research, training and development become together an engine for change of individuals and organizations.
