Direct, inquiry-led therapy to bring unconscious patterns into the light and remove barriers to love.
Welcome! Maybe life looks fine from the outside, but inside you feel stuck. You find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same arguments, questioning the same things, or simply moving through the motions of a life that no longer feels like your own.
You may be tired of feeling at the whim of other people, your circumstances, your past, or the expectations you’ve been carrying. Perhaps you’ve started asking bigger questions: Why do I keep doing this? What am I actually afraid of? What do I want? What would change if I stopped waiting for something outside of me to change first? This is the kind of work I love to do.
I am especially drawn to people who are ready to become curious about themselves and the patterns shaping their lives. You don’t need to have the answers. Together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to understand the emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
What We Can Work On Together
Identify stressful thoughts and beliefs that may be shaping how you feel and respond
Recognize emotional and relationship patterns that keep repeating
Question assumptions about yourself, others, or your circumstances that may be keeping you stuck
Process grief, loss, trauma, and difficult life transitions
Explore addiction, recovery, and the impact of substance use on you or your relationships
Strengthen communication and connection with the people you love
Work through conflict or disconnection within couples and families
Make space for questions about identity, culture, spirituality, and belonging
Reconnect with what matters to you and how you want to live
What Therapy With Me Is Like
My style is warm, direct, and curious. I want therapy to be a place where you feel genuinely seen and understood, while also having space to look more closely at the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
As a Certified Facilitator of Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction, I use thoughtful questions and inquiry to help you explore the beliefs and assumptions shaping how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. We’ll also slow things down to understand what is happening emotionally beneath the surface, including the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself and respond when something important feels threatened.
This work is personal to me. In my own life, learning to question long-held beliefs, accept what was in front of me, and take greater ownership of my choices created meaningful change. I bring that same spirit of curiosity into the therapy room, not to tell you who you should be, but to help you discover where you may have more choice than you realized.
Culture, spirituality, and personal values are always welcome when they are meaningful to you.
A Little More About Me
Before becoming a therapist, I taught English for several years on a small Greek island and built my own small business, Lover of the Light.
I am a Musician. I play saxophone, piano, guitar, as well as sing, with a lifelong love of lyrics and poetry, especially Rumi.
One of my most memorable experiences is backpacking across Europe and North America with my therapy dog and guitar
I find renewal in swimming and have a longstanding fascination with whales, pomegranates, puppies, and the Aegean Sea.
