I was born and raised in Athens, Greece.  However, I went to an American school and, at 18, then crossed the Atlantic to go to a college in Connecticut, in the U.S.A.  In college, I first developed a love of ancient philosophy and political philosophy and was able to build friendships with others around these interests.  After college, I worked briefly in New York and then traveled to the Middle East to learn Arabic, before returning for graduate studies in political philosophy in Chicago.

​

My graduate studies were rewarding but several years of over-work on my part led to intense health issues and difficulty cultivating enjoyable relationships with others in that setting.  I reached PhD candidacy in 2016 but never completed my degree.  It was only after withdrawing from academia and coming to focus more on questions having to do with spirituality and life-purpose that I began to heal.  I believe that spirituality and philosophy are most healing when united in the same practice or quest.

​

I became a certified member of the American Philosophical Practitioners' Association in 2018, and initiated my professional practice in New York City in 2019.  My practice focuses on helping individuals find a way forward through the challenges or impasses they are faced with by consulting their own inner wisdom and compass.  I am particularly focused on helping people who are wrestling with burnout or with difficulty and/or conflict in their relationships with others (about which this website will include more discussions soon!) but I am above all open to conversation with anyone who is in search of greater fulfillment and meaning.
