My Philosophy of Care

EN: My first love is Social Psychology, so I always approach my clinical practice by trying to hold space for both personal and systemic issues. Being a Health at Every Size® Provider means that I strive to always put informed consent, personal autonomy and self-determination first for my patients. Health at Every Size® and any other affirming approaches are really the only ways I can fathom to be a psychologist and psychotherapist, because I do not want to contribute to the pathologization and othering of anyone who is considered “outside of the norm”.

IT: Il mio primo amore è la Psicologia Sociale, quindi mi approccio al lavoro clinico cercando di abbracciare sia le istanze personali che quelle sistemiche. Essere una professionista Health at Every Size® significa che cerco sempre di mettere al primo posto il consenso informato e l’autodeterminazione dellə miə pazienti. Health at Every Size® e ogni altro approccio affermativo sono gli unici modi che posso immaginare di essere una psicologa psicoterapeuta, perché non voglio contribuire alla patologizzazione e alla marginalizzazione di chiunque di colloqui “al di fuori della norma”.

About Me & My Practice

EN: I am a mid-fat, disabled chronically ill elder millennial. I live with my husband and our chronically ill Jack Russell Terrier. I love tattoos, improbable hair colors and Musical Theatre. I basically function on podcasts and I am an introvert but I am very good at not showing it. I started learning about Health at Every Size® in 2018 mostly thanks to Italian Fat Liberation activists and gorgeous human beings Belle di Faccia. Through them I met online a lot of other Italian healthcare providers who wanted to simply queer every aspect of health care and be really in service of our patients and clients.

IT: Sono una millennial grassa, disabile e convivo con diverse malattie croniche. Vivo con mio marito e il nostro Jack Russell Terrier, anche lui malato cronico. Amo i tatuaggi, colori di capelli improbabili e i Musical. Praticamente funziono solo grazie ai podcast e sono introversa anche se sono molto brava a non dimostrarlo. Ho iniziato a conoscere l’Health at Every Size® soprattutto grazie alle Belle di Faccia, attiviste italiane per la Fat Liberation ed esseri umani meravigliosi. Grazie a loro ho conosciuto altrə professionistə sanitarə che semplicemente volevano “queerizzare” ogni aspetto della sanità per essere davvero al servizio dellə nostrə clienti e pazienti.

Accessibility Considerations

EN: I do not employ staff so when my patients contact my practice they always talk with me and only me.
---
IT: Non ho una segreteria, quindi, quando lə pazienti mi contattano parlano con me e solo con me.
