What circumstances shifted you into this specific moment in time...to bring this bio into your awareness? Was it the guilt that has consumed you since morning of how you didn’t show up exactly how you envisioned being the best parent...or that you have become conscious to the burden of unrealistic expectations upon self and have decided to courageously dive into the depths of your shadows? Perhaps you have questions about self you never have had before and feeling like no one can relate. All you would like is for someone to hold space while you allow emotions like sadness or anger to flow and feel you are able to cry without shame!

When your relationship is shaped by unhealed wounds, even the smallest moments can ignite tension, distance, or shutdown. You and your partner love each other deeply, yet you continue to stew in the same conflicts, reacting to old triggers that neither of you fully understands. You want connection, but the past keeps slipping into the present – turning tenderness into defensiveness and vulnerability into silence. You’re tired of putting out emotional fires instead of nurturing a bond that’s stable, safe, and secure. It’s time to understand these dynamics so you can build a relationship strong enough to hold both of your histories.

Being fluent in both English and Greek, I also offer sessions in Greek if that is your native language.
Being human is so beautiful, and can also be very hard. We hold stories of great beauty, and also great shame. Often experiences of pain, shame, and harm get minimized and not tended to with care. As a result, these stories are held in our bodies and can lead to addictions, anxiety, depression, loss of connection, anger, sadness, self-doubt, negative self-esteem, overwhelming emotions, and disorientation. If you can relate to this, you are not alone - I am here for you, and most importantly, there is hope!

I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space for individuals to explore their challenges.

You may look like you have it together on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or quietly questioning how long you can keep managing everything alone. Anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, or a life or career transition may have left you feeling depleted or uncertain about what comes next.
Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to carrying significant responsibility at work or in their families. You’re not looking for endless talk—you want clarity, balance, and practical ways to manage stress and move forward with greater confidence and direction.
