Your child is witty, funny, quirky, maybe even a bit weird. Not everyone gets them, but you love their creative, fast brain. Still, you feel a distance growing between you, and you crave a better understanding of what their behaviors mean and how to support a neurodivergent child. You want to find a therapist who also delights in your family, offering gentle understanding and guidance toward finding your strengths, expressing feelings, and overcoming challenges. I help bright, creative families thrive as they navigate the complex emotional landscape of raising a child with unique needs.

Certified trauma-informed therapist with training in EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CPT. I specialize in work with adult/adolescent clients with a history of trauma, whether single incident or complex and/or autism. These clients may present with PTSD, cPTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and more. My goal is to assist my clients with not only recovering after trauma, but enabling growth toward the person they want to be. I see survival as a strength, and the adaptations that allowed for that survival should be recognized as such to increase self-compassion and facilitate the next step.

I work with young children, adolescents, and families who are struggling with behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, executive functioning, trauma, ADHD, social skills, and family transitions. I believe that forming a strong judgement-free partnership is the basis for positive change and that therapy, although challenging at times, should be engaging and fun. I also recognize that treatment is not a “cookie-cutter” solution and prioritize working together to determine what is best for each individual client.

Sometimes life can throw us challenges that feel too difficult to bear alone. As a therapist, it is my passion to create a warm and safe environment to support my clients through whatever struggles you may endure. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, and often see children, adolescents, families, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, body image or eating struggles, trauma, or any stress resulting from a life transition. Viewing therapy through a holistic lens, I see each client as more than just a set of presenting problems, but as a whole person with a unique set of strengths, struggles, values, and goals.

I believe that it is essential for clients to find the right fit for their therapist. I want the client to know that my office is a safe space and I will do everything I can to help them navigate through the tough times in their life. Coming from a Greek background influences my desire to maintain cultural competence and tailor therapy to best support one’s beliefs and values. I will work as my client's advocate, ensuring that they feel valued and heard. I strive to create a relationship built on trust, communication, growth, and respect.

I work with clients of all ages and issues/needs. I have a particular interest in those who are grieving, an experience that is difficult for anyone, particularly a young person who is just beginning to grasp language and how language relates to feelings. I am also well accommodated to help clients manage and process trauma/traumatic experiences with knowledge and guidance regarding the sympathetic nervous system/mind and body connectivity.

Do you feel misunderstood or that you can’t let anyone see who you really are? Maybe you can’t understand why your thoughts and feelings are always trying to take you hostage? Locking away who you are has made it difficult to connect with others and left you feeling alone. I love to give people the freedom to embrace and understand their emotions. As your guide, you will begin to drop the fear and exhaustion of trying to keep it all together so perfectly & embrace your own truth. You will begin to accept and love yourself just as you are!
