About me

I am a counselor and psychotherapist trained in psychotherapy and counseling psychology, with an international personal and professional background that enriches my clinical work. I was born and raised in Germany as a "third culture kid" with an Austrian father and a British mother. I completed my initial studies in the humanities in Berlin and subsequently worked in finance in London, before settling in Athens more than 15 years ago. While that career was intellectually engaging I came to realize that I was most drawn to work centered on understanding people and supporting them through meaningful change. This varied background has helped me develop a culturally sensitive and flexible therapeutic stance. I hold an M.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Strathclyde/Glasgow as well as an MS in Psychotherapy and Counseling Psychology from the American College of Greece and have completed clinical training in a variety of settings, including a counseling center serving students and a private provider based in the US offering remote access therapy to US and Filipino adults. I have worked with a variety of clients - adolescents, young adults and older individuals from diverse cultural, ethnic, and social backgrounds. I also have experience supporting expats and individuals from the LGBTQ community. I am committed to ethical practice, ongoing supervision, and continued professional development.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
Every person is different and each problem requires a different solution. Consequently, my approach is  integrative, drawing from a number of well established therapeutic approaches, most notably Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Approaches, Systemic Therapy as well as psychodynamic approaches. CBT helps identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It is structured, goal-oriented, and practical. ACT teaches skills like mindfulness and acceptance to handle challenges while focusing energy on what truly matters to an individual. Person-Centered Approach offers a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental relationship in which people are supported to understand themselves more deeply and move toward growth and change at their own pace. Systemic therapy focuses on understanding personal difficulties within the context of relationships and social systems (e.g. family) and how to facilitate change. Psychodynamic therapy helps people understand how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence their current thoughts, feelings, and relationships, supporting deeper insights and lasting change. Depending on your needs, therapy may involve structured interventions, reflective exploration, or a combination of both. We will regularly review goals and progress together. As a therapist, I aim to provide a safe space that is calm, respectful, and emotionally attuned. I work collaboratively and transparently, adapting the structure and pace of therapy to each client’s needs. I value both thoughtful exploration and practical change, and I see the therapeutic relationship itself as a central vehicle for growth. I believe that lasting change often comes from both increased self-understanding and the development of new ways of responding to emotions, thoughts, and relationships.
