Profile
As a licensed Clinical Psychologist specialized in Family and Systemic Therapy, with a PhD in Neuroscience and a Master's degree in Opera Singing, I am passionate about exploring the rich intersections between psychology and music. My research interests span various domains, including neuropsychology, developmental psychology, work and organizational psychology, and clinical psychology. I am particularly focused on how music influences children's behavior and neural activity, as well as how it supports mental health in young people and adults experiencing depression or burnout.
Special Interests:
- Experimental psychology and neuropsychology techniques applied across developmental, clinical, and organizational psychology
- The impact of music on neural activity and behavior in children
- Music's role in reducing burnout and improving workplace well-being
- The therapeutic effects of music on mental health, particularly in depression
