A space to be heard, not just to argue better
Psychodynamic couples therapy for partners navigating conflict, distance, trust, or the ordinary strain of building a life together — by secure video, wherever you both are.
Not about winning the argument
Couples therapy here isn't about deciding who's right. It's about understanding the pattern the two of you keep falling into — the same argument in different clothes, the same silence at the same moment — and finding a way to move as a partnership rather than two people defending separate positions.
I work with couples entirely by secure video, in English, French, or Greek, which makes this practice a natural fit for expatriate and multilingual couples navigating a relationship across cultures, time zones, or a second language.
Couples often begin when…
- The same argument keeps returning, unresolved
- Trust has been damaged and needs rebuilding
- You feel more like housemates than partners
- A major life change has put strain on the relationship
- Communication has become guarded or defensive
- You're building a life across cultures or languages
What tends to bring couples here
Every relationship is different — this is simply where the work often begins.
Communication Breakdown
Conversations that escalate quickly, go quiet, or seem to happen past each other rather than between you.
Trust & Repair
Rebuilding after infidelity, dishonesty, or a breach that's left the relationship feeling unsteady.
Distance & Disconnection
A slow drift toward parallel lives — still together, but no longer quite finding each other.
Expatriate & Multilingual Couples
The particular strain — and richness — of a relationship built across cultures, countries, or a second language.
Major Life Transitions
Parenthood, relocation, career change, or illness — moments that test a partnership's shape.
Recurring Conflict
The same disagreement, again and again, in different disguises — usually pointing to something underneath it.

I work with couples entirely by secure video, in English, French, and Greek. My approach is psychodynamic — looking beneath the surface argument to the pattern underneath it, and helping both partners understand not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment
