Born in Paris to a family whose recent roots stretch across Greece and Asia Minor, I have long been drawn to questions of ancestry, memory, and belonging. Further back, I sometimes sense traces of older migrations and landscapes that continue to echo through family stories, imagination, and the body.
I am an artist and writer. My artistic practice centers on digital and mixed-media collage, often using my own family photos as a point of departure. Through processes of layering, transformation, and recontextualization, I explore memory, identity, inheritance, and the unseen threads that connect personal and collective histories. Writing and image-making are deeply intertwined in my work, each informing and extending the other.
For more than twenty-five years, I have been engaged in the study and exploration of psychogenealogy and transgenerational family therapy. This inquiry has become both a personal path and a professional vocation.
Since 2020, I am working as a transgenerational practitioner and therapist, offering workshops, individual sessions, and guidance to people seeking to understand the legacies carried through family systems and across generations.
My work is rooted in the belief that the stories, traumas, and silences of those who came before us continue to shape our lives in profound ways.
By bringing these hidden inheritances into awareness, new possibilities for understanding, healing, and creative transformation can emerge.
In 2024, to support my therapeutic work, I created the first ever transgenerational tarot deck.
In 2026, I published my first book I Fed My Name to Ghosts, a work that brings together many of the themes that animate my artistic and transgenerational inquiries: memory, motherhood, the body, lineage, identity, and loss.
