I'm a first-gen Greek-American child of immigrants, and an HSP Bisexual Woman.
I specialize in working with creative highly sensitive people who deal with depression and anxiety. Together we will process your experiences, change unhelpful narratives, and develop harmony and balance within yourself. I work as witness in helping you develop a more nuanced inner dialogue to move from a place of confusion and disconnection towards self compassion and healing. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, Sex Positive, Spiritually affirming, and work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, multiculturally sensitive, & intersectional approach towards embodied healing and life empowerment.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, who has a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Psychology and Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling. I offer my clients psychotherapy with an integrative approach, utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize a therapeutic plan for every person, group, and couple I work with. I primarily focus on CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, Relational, Psychodynamic, mindfulness, and meditation, but offer other techniques listed below. ​ My own philosophy is based on a holistic approach, so I do not always focus on diagnoses or pathology. However, I do recognize that sometimes it is needed.

It is not easy to find someone with whom to share your inner world. As a therapist, I seek to provide a secure holding space that can assist in containing those feelings, because I believe that having a judgement-free space to develop awareness is important to one’s mental health. In this process, I will help you explore all the different parts of yourself, even the ones that feel the most shameful or unwanted. This process allows you to gain a more dynamic sense of yourself by getting to know the parts that have been kept at a distance. I believe this work can help make the intolerable a bit more tolerable.

JUNE 2022: Currently accepting individuals for psychodynamically informed, attachment-oriented, weekly therapy or couples for weekly EFT-based couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). EFT-based couples therapy seeks to help couples identify the interactional patterns that keep couples disconnected. In understanding these patterns, we work to help partners learn and understand their habitual protective behaviors, their partner's protective behaviors, and to practice NEW ways of responding to one's self and one's partner.

My practice largely serves folks in the LGBTQIA+ community to address their unique needs, but all are welcome. A major focus of my work is with Complex Trauma - supporting folks who have been through subtle or not-so-subtle physical, emotional, and sexual traumas or neglect. Emphasis is placed on how one’s childhood environment can shape adulthood patterns of behavior and relationships. We can work to uncover where these patterns came from, if they are serving you now, and how to shift them if they are not. I also work with folks on the Autism Spectrum, with a focus on the challenges facing those who were diagnosed after childhood.
