My Path

My entire life has been oriented toward understanding the unseen—what lives beneath ordinary perception, within the unconscious, the symbolic mind, the body, dreams, and the deeper layers of human experience.

From an early age, I experienced vivid dream states, intuitive perceptions, and what I understood as encounters with liminal spaces beyond ordinary awareness. These experiences led me into a lifelong exploration of consciousness, spirituality, the unconscious, and the many ways our inner worlds shape how we experience ourselves and our lives.

My own path has also been one of profound transformation. I have worked extensively with trauma, ancestral patterns, embodiment, shadow, surrender, and the places where psychological and spiritual experience meet. Much of my life has involved learning how to stay present with what is difficult—to meet pain directly, breathe through it, allow it to move and change, and gradually develop the capacity to remain grounded without becoming overwhelmed, fragmented, or disconnected.

This eventually led me to Vipassana Buddhist meditation and years of intensive contemplative practice, including extended silent practice at Panditarama Monastery in Burma in the Mahasi tradition as a yogi. Buddhist practice gave me an essential foundation in mindfulness, concentration, observation, and remaining present within challenging internal states. It taught me the importance of developing both depth and stability: the ability to enter profound inner territory while remaining grounded in the body and connected to the present moment.

Alongside this contemplative path, I have explored ancestral, shamanic, archetypal, somatic, and energy-based traditions. My Greek heritage has deeply influenced my understanding of the body as symbolic and meaningful, including traditional concepts surrounding the spiritualization of the organs, feminine wisdom, and the relationship between the physical and unseen worlds.

Over time, I became particularly interested in the deep unconscious and symbolic mind—the places where experiences may live before we have words for them. Dreams, bodily sensations, images, parts, archetypes, memories, and patterns can sometimes communicate something that the conscious mind cannot yet articulate.

Bringing Worlds Together

Much of my work has involved translating the spiritual and shamanic traditions I have encountered throughout my life into grounded psychological frameworks that can be understood and worked with therapeutically.

My training and mentorship have allowed me to explore this intersection through Western therapeutic approaches including somatic psychotherapy, parts work, mindfulness, Brainspotting, EMDR, trauma-informed approaches, and other experiential methods. I am particularly interested in approaches that allow us to work not only through conscious thought, but also through the body, nervous system, unconscious, symbolic experience, and relational field.

I also draw from archetypal, ancestral, womb-centered, and contemplative perspectives when they are meaningful and appropriate for the individual client. These approaches are not about imposing a particular spiritual belief system. Rather, they can provide additional language and pathways for understanding experiences that may be difficult to reach through words alone.

At the heart of my work is the belief that the body and unconscious often know more than we have consciously been able to understand. Healing can involve learning how to listen to that intelligence without becoming overwhelmed by it.

Today, I bring these different worlds together through a therapeutic approach that is deeply embodied, restorative, relational, and grounded.

Our work may move between the practical and the profound: nervous-system regulation and the unconscious; present-day relationships and ancestral patterns; the body and the symbolic mind; stabilization and deeper transformation.

There is room for the parts of you that are hurting, the parts that have protected you, the parts that have been forgotten, and the parts that are ready to emerge.

My role is not to tell you what your experience means. It is to create a grounded, compassionate space where we can listen closely enough for you to discover what your own inner world is trying to remember.
