About me

I am Silvana

Clinical psychologist, certified in Dr. Gabor Maté’s approach to healing trauma (Compassionate Inquiry)

I believe that each of us has the innate capacity to heal and bring about inner transformation. My passion is supporting people on this journey towards healing and authenticity.

I meet you exactly where you are, tailoring my approach with a blend of techniques that engage the mind, body, soul, and spirit. Together, we’ll explore the dynamics of your current state – its emotional, physical, and mental layers – and uncover the roots of what you’re experiencing.

In a space of conscious presence, we’ll explore what arises in the present moment and the deeper connections between beliefs, emotions, and bodily sensations. With curiosity and attention, we’ll integrate what’s repressed, bringing the unconscious to light, and thus allowing your authentic Self to emerge. Our focus will be on nurturing your relationship with your Self, addressing your needs, developing healthy skills, and fostering deep self-compassion.

I believe we are all connected and that when we are good and compassionate to ourselves, we become more capable of showing compassion towards other people, animals, plants, as well as planet Earth itself. This way, in taking care of ourselves, we ultimately contribute to a world filled with solidarity and love.
