About Me
A little over 15 years ago, I experienced what I now know to be a panic attack. This frightening event set me on a trajectory toward learning to find a healthy balance in managing the stress and anxiety I experience in life. Later, after the birth of my daughter, I experienced post-partum depression, for which I eventually sought counseling. I can attest that finding the right support is vital in overcoming the challenges of mental health.
Attention to mental health is not a passing trend, but a core need that deserves attention in everyday life.
I believe everyone needs extra support at some point during their lives. My personal journey and professional education equip me with a healthy framework for how to relate and empathize with individuals that have the added burden of navigating life with mental health challenges — particularly in an expat setting. With a heart for helping people find the support and care they need to successfully manage their mental health, I look forward to connecting with you.

My Bio:
Graduating from The American College of Greece and earning a B.A. in Psychology with honors, I am in the process of being professionally licensed as a psychologist in Greece. I continually seek to further develop my knowledge of best practices and scientific research in the field of counseling psychology. I appreciate connecting this scientific evidence to everyday life, demonstrated by my research thesis which explored the role of how sleep quality can mitigate the effects of daily anxiety.
I desire to offer a safe space for processing the many difficulties of life through a client-centered, existential approach (this means you set the pace and focus). As an expat myself, I am particularly interested in supporting individuals from the expat community as they navigate the unique challenges we often encounter.
A little more about me: I enjoy yoga, movie “therapy,” trying new recipes, and snacking on Oreos, all the while putting up with the relentless energy of my husband and daughter. Originally from the United States, I am currently based in Thessaloniki, Greece and Sofia, Bulgaria. I am available for serving adult clients online across Europe.
