About Me

I am a trilingual (English/French/Greek) social worker and trauma-informed clinician based in Montréal, Québec. My work is guided by a deep respect for the resilience of the people I serve and a belief that healing unfolds best in relationships grounded in safety, compassion, and attuned presence. I primarily support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relational wounds, and significant life transitions, with careful attention to pacing, stabilization, and nervous-system regulation. Earlier in my career, I worked extensively in the field of addictions, supporting individuals and families impacted by substance use, trauma, and chronic stress. This experience continues to shape my clinical lens and informs my EMDR work with clients who carry layers of shame, survival strategies, and complex developmental histories. I approach EMDR Therapy with curiosity and care, honoring adaptive responses while gently supporting integration and change. Alongside my clinical work, I co-direct a multidisciplinary therapy clinic where I mentor and supervise clinicians and practicum students. As I move toward the role of EMDR Consultant in Training, I am especially interested in supporting clinicians in building confidence, deepening case conceptualization, and integrating EMDR Therapy in ways that feel ethical, grounded, and sustainable.
