My name is Anto and I am glad you are here. 
I am a psychologist ( UvA, VU), registered hypnotherapist (NBVH), integrative and psychosocial therapist, and teacher at Academie Hypnos, Voorthuizen. 
Born in Italy, I have lived in the Netherlands since 1989. I came through the Erasmus exchange project, contributing to the first Italian–Dutch Van Dale Dictionary. After graduating in Italy (European Languages and Literature), I decided to stay in the Netherlands.
After holding various positions, I realized a long-cherished dream: helping people gain more control over their lives. Alongside my work and the adventure of adoptive motherhood, I studied psychology, trained as a hypnotherapist, and started my own practice.

From personal experience, I know how important the first step toward change is—and how to rediscover the strength within yourself to take that step. With that knowledge and experience, I am happy to guide you.

I offer consultations in Dutch, Italian (my mother tongue), and English. My clients come from different cultures and with diverse concerns. This requires a personal approach: whichever therapeutic method I use, it is always tailored therapy.

Everything begins with the question: What do you need?
My guidance focuses on your strength, choices, and possibilities. Together, we explore what is holding you back, what you wish to release, and which steps you can take toward greater peace, clarity, and fulfillment.

Act, Don't React 

 
Choose to act instead of merely reacting.

Choose change and place yourself in the spotlight.

Discover what you need to grow and where your strength lies.

What do you truly long for?
Which dreams do you want to realize?
What do you still want to achieve in your life?

Every step, no matter how small, is a step toward a life that truly reflects who you are.
