About me

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? I can help. As a trilingual and multicultural Gestalt therapist and actress with Greek roots, I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your challenges and rediscover your inner strength.


My Journey
From a young age, I was fascinated by human behavior. I was the one in my family who listened to others' stories and struggles, always curious about the "why" behind their experiences. This curiosity led me on my own path of self-discovery through psychotherapy, where I gained valuable insights into my emotions, contradictions, and the impact of the past.


My background is a unique blend of science, art, and therapy. I hold an MS in Physics from the University of Patras in Greece, and I've honed my understanding of human expression through theater studies in London and New York. My passion for helping others led me to study Gestalt therapy at the “Ecole humaniste de Gestalt” in Paris. Since 2009, I've been living in France, where I've built my practice as a therapist while continuing to teach and engage in theatrical pursuits.


As your therapist, I offer empathy, attentiveness, and unwavering respect for who you are and who you aspire to be. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges and discover your true potential.


Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it’s learning to dance in the rain.
