As a philosophical counselor my approach is based on the use of practical intentionality. I help my clients to reconnect with their active and passive intentions in order to gain a balanced emotional and intellectual life. My approach involves values clarification, dialogue, self-reflection, and philosophical readings aimed at enabling clients to align their thoughts, feelings, and instinctive sense of being alive. I train clients to observe their lives philosophically-grasping deeply what they are living, choices they face, and the values underlying those choices.

Philosophy in theory and practice.

I have a PhD in Philosophy from the Sorbonne University in Paris, an M.A. Human Rights and Political Science from the University of Bologna, and a Bachelor in Philosophy from La Sapienza University in Rome. I have held professorships at Sapienza University, Loyola University and the Florence University of the Arts, and currently teach at Luzern University, California State Univeristy and Saybrook University in San Francisco. On this page you can find my books.

How

My practice of philosophical observation initially takes place in an office and later may take place in everyday settings like a café or a dance class. I love working with:

Individuals

Workshops

Towards the end of January and May I organize a two day workshop to train practical intentionality in person.
