About me

If you find yourself repeating the same patterns — anxiety that returns, relationships that don’t work, or a constant inner pressure — psychotherapy can help you understand what keeps this cycle going and gradually change it.

I am a psychiatrist and psychodynamic psychotherapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on understanding the underlying emotional processes that sustain them.

I have worked in both public and private mental health settings and have held leading clinical roles. This allows me to approach each case with depth, structure, and responsibility.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
In our sessions, we will work to:

* understand the patterns behind anxiety, depression, and emotional distress
* explore recurring relationship dynamics that feel difficult or repetitive
* make sense of reactions that seem automatic or out of your control
* create space for more stable and meaningful ways of relating to yourself and others

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic thinking, always adapted to the individual. When needed, psychotherapy can be combined with pharmacological treatment in a careful and collaborative way.

This work is not about quick fixes. It is about understanding yourself more deeply and creating lasting change.

Experience

I began my medical career as a Medical Officer in the Hellenic Army, serving at the 401 General Military Hospital in Athens, as well as in Mytilene and Lamia.

Since 2007, I have been working continuously as a psychiatrist in both public and private settings, providing comprehensive assessment and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions.

I have also served as Scientific Director of a private psychiatric clinic, where I was responsible for clinical oversight, treatment planning, and the coordination of multidisciplinary teams.

Currently, I am in private practice and serve as Scientific Director of a Mobile Mental Health Unit, combining psychiatric expertise with psychodynamic and family therapy approaches.

My work focuses on creating a safe, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic environment, helping individuals gain deeper insight and achieve meaningful, lasting change.

Education

I graduated from the Medical School of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1998, following my studies at the Military School of Officer Corps (SSAS).

I completed my specialization in Psychiatry at the 401 General Military Hospital of Athens and the Psychiatric Clinic of “G. Gennimatas” General Hospital, gaining extensive clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders.

In parallel with my clinical training, I completed a two-year program in Family Therapy at the Athenian Center for the Study of Man and a two-year course with the Hellenic Psychoanalytic Society.

I also initiated my PhD research at the Medical School of the University of Ioannina.
