The unhealed parts of our past, impact our ability to respond while thriving, causing reactions in order to survive, how are your unhealed parts showing up?

My ideal client is willing to explore their emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. They might be dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, or the aftermath of trauma. These clients need a safe space to express themselves, receive active listening, and develop effective coping strategies. For those who have experienced trauma, my approach is tailored to their unique needs. I prioritize creating a trusting relationship where clients feel secure enough to share their experiences. Using TFCBT interventions, I help them process and integrate their experiences to reduce distress and promote healing.

Have you found yourself feeling stuck or in a slump lately? With everything going on today, on top of your own responsibilities, it can be easy to get lost in the chaos. Therapy should be something that is healing and assists the client in gaining insight. I like to meet the client where they are and fit in where there is a need. If you think of mental health as a life long race, each runner has their own pace. There is never really a finish line because anything can throw someone off at any given moment. It is my goal to equip my clients with the tools to run their race and be prepared to take on any challenges that may arise.

You’re not sure when it happened, but you don’t recognize the person you see in the mirror. As far as everyone else can tell, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short, or of events from the past pulling your focus away from the here and now. You spend your time and energy trying to keep it all together and giving your time to everyone but yourself. You feel exhausted and you know something needs to change. And you know the time is now!

Wondering if you'll ever feel different than you do right now? I hear you. You feel stuck. For so much of your life, others have told you who and how to be. You try desperately to keep up with appearances but you feel like the token person in most spaces. While they describe you as hardworking, passionate, and driven, YOU see what's under the mask: you're overbooked, distracted, burnt-out. You want to truly connect with yourself, to understand what's important to you, and to feel really seen by people you care about. You want more out of your life; instead of a fog, you'd like to wake up in the morning with a sense of clarity.

Welcome! I specialize in working with adults who experience persistent anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, family conflict, multicultural issues, and difficulty around life transitions. More specifically, I support clients with challenges around mood, assertiveness, self-esteem, boundary-setting, “people pleasing”, frequent guilt, neglect, or just not feeling good enough. I work especially well with those who have experienced unhealthy relationship dynamics, such as emotional abuse or manipulation. My background as a first-generation Greek-American has also contributed to my knowledge of and interest in cross-cultural concerns.
