About

You deserve the space, time, and attention.

I’m here to help.

The first step is often the most difficult, you don’t have to do it alone.

My Background

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, U.S., and began my psychology journey at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree with an inclination toward substance abuse disorder. During this time, I also worked at a group home for individuals with various diagnoses who were unable to live independently, expanding my experience with understanding neurodivergence in daily life.

I expanded my expertise through an exchange program in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I studied Clinical Psychology and worked with the elderly, focusing on loneliness’ association with mental health; something we internationals know well from living abroad. Afterward, I continue my therapeutic education as a behavioral psychologist with children with developmental disorders before pursuing my Master’s program, which brought me to Athens, Greece.

In Athens, I specialized in integrative psychotherapy for vulnerable populations, volunteering at a women and mother’s refugee clinic for two years. During this time, I began working with expats and internationals across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, as my own personal experience demonstrated how many unexpected challenges can come from moving and living abroad. After completing my degree, I established my private practice in 2023, and have been based in Athens ever since, though I have family ties in Lebanon and travel there when I can. Expanding my education and understanding of the world is a top value of mine, and I make it a priority to continue to develop multi-cultural awareness to be able to work with anyone who steps through my door, virtually or otherwise. Now, I specialize working with identity, finding meaning in our life, ADHD, and anxiety related disorders, among other concerns.

Today, I offer both in-person and online psychotherapy. I am slowly learning Greek and Arabic, however, all sessions take place in English – my native tongue. If you have any questions about my experience or how we can work together, please feel free to reach out.

My Approach & Philosophy

As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches, recognizing that each person is unique and that therapy needs to be just as unique as you. I firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing and growth. If you are a more logical thinker, we may explore structured approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which provide clear steps to help you make progress. If you lean toward creativity, we can incorporate art therapy, imagery work, and person-centered exploration to safely and creatively process emotions and thoughts.

I also believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and I will consistently ask for your feedback to make sure our work together is meaningful and effective. I try to create a space for exploration, where we are a team sifting through your thoughts and emotions with compassion first, but honesty right behind.  Through our sessions, we will explore what resonates with you, throwing aside anything that doesn’t sit quite right, and create a personalized path toward understanding, growth, and balance in your life.
