How I work
I hold an MSc in Clinical Psychosexology from Sapienza Università di Roma. My research work has focused on sexual health, including intimacy and sexuality in multiple sclerosis. When a difficulty may also have a physical cause, I suggest a medical assessment in parallel, for example by a urologist or gynaecologist.
