Hi, I’m Phoebe. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and my work integrates somatic psychology, mindful self-inquiry, and depth-oriented psychotherapy to support emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and identity development. At the core of my approach is a deep respect for the body as a source of wisdom and for awareness as a pathway to meaningful change.
My clinical work is informed by somatic practices, transpersonal psychology, and contemplative traditions, alongside a strong grounding in structure, safety, and ethical care. I am especially interested in how early experiences, family systems, and cultural lineage shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. In therapy, I support clients in reconnecting with steadiness, clarity, and a sense of inner authority—particularly during periods of transition, grief, anxiety, or overwhelm.
Before becoming a therapist, I studied biochemistry and spent nearly a decade working in scientific consulting and microscopy. That background gave me a strong respect for precision, observation, and pattern recognition. Over time, I felt called toward a different kind of inquiry—one rooted in direct experience, embodiment, and the nervous system. This shift led me to intensive contemplative practice, including a long silent meditation retreat in Burma in the Mahasi tradition of Theravada Buddhism. That period of training profoundly shaped how I understand suffering, resilience, attention, and the mind–body relationship.
My work is also influenced by my Greek heritage and a matriarchal lineage that values wisdom passed through story, land, and lived experience. Exposure to Greek mythology, philosophy, and place-based traditions—from early visits to sacred sites to time spent near Delphi—has shaped my appreciation for archetypal patterns, meaning-making, and the role of culture in healing. I hold these influences not as belief systems to impose, but as lenses that inform curiosity, respect for complexity, and reverence for the human process.
In sessions, I help clients slow down and listen to what their bodies, emotions, and inner parts are communicating. We work gently and collaboratively to unwind patterns that no longer serve—whether inherited, learned, or formed in response to stress or trauma—and to build greater internal safety and coherence. Much of this work happens through subtle shifts in awareness and nervous system regulation, which may be quiet but deeply impactful over time.
My greatest teacher has been lived experience: navigating trauma, working with shadow material, and learning from the natural world about rhythm, repair, and resilience. It is a privilege to witness people reconnect with the truest parts of themselves and move toward greater well-being, confidence, and trust in who they are becoming.
