I'm a family therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most meaningful transitions. My work centers on helping people strengthen their communication, clarify their sense of purpose, and navigate the complexities of parenting with greater confidence and clarity.
I bring a secular, grounded approach to therapy that honors your values and beliefs while focusing on practical, meaningful change. Whether you're working through relationship dynamics, exploring what matters most to you, or seeking support as a parent, I'm here to help you build skills and insight at your own pace.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are, listening deeply, and working together to identify what's possible for your life. I draw on evidence-based approaches to help you communicate more effectively, strengthen your relationships, and move toward greater authenticity and purpose.
I'm fluent in English and Greek, which allows me to serve a diverse range of clients and communities.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey toward growth and connection.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
