My approach

Listening combined with science

Psychiatry and psychotherapy (CBT or TCC) are validated sciences. However the complexity of the human being cannot be reduced to technical aspects

Personalized approach

We propose a flexible therapy adapted to individual needs. Understanding those will be our first objective

My CV

I served the University Hospital of Geneva as a resident and as a consultant (Chef de Clinique)

I practice cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy (TCC or CBT), with an integration of psychodynamic and systemic elements

I am aware of the importance of medical innovation in order to propose the most advanced and effective solutions to my patients. An academic activity with this focus has led me to publish on international journals (including the world's most renowed one, the New England Journal of Medicine) and to a research collaboration on medical innovation with Harvard University, where I also studied

In the beginning of my medical training, I accomplished 2.5 years in surgery in Switzerland, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases

I have carried out several voluntary medical activities to help the most vulnerable, including medical missions in Nepal, Rwanda, Brazil and India

I am passionate about anthropology and I published a book on the history of science entitled Il Placebo, with Giuseppe Girgenti, Professor of Ancient Philosophy

Vision

My job, which I see more as a mission, is to improve the health of those who seek my advice

Mental health is inseparable from somatic health, so I propose in specific cases a general medical check-up

My psychotherapeutic orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral, not only for its scientific validation, but because of its positive, pragmatic and collaborative approach

I integrate psychodynamic and systemic elements to better understand the patient and his/her relational environment

Coming from a school of surgery and being an expert in medical innovation, I know the importance of results. My goal is to combine empathy and scientific knowledge to achieve important results for my patients

I try to give my patients maximum availability of time and logistics (also to check the functioning in their own environment). The goal is to get free from the need of treatment as soon as possible
