I was born and raised in Amaliada, a small town in southwestern Greece. Despite my teachers\u2019 objections, who predicted a bright future in medicine, I followed my passion for Psychology and completed my studies at Panteion University in Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n

My interest soon turned to sexuality, partly because it is one of the few universal human experiences – if you have a body, you have a sexuality – and partly because an almost scandalous silence surrounds it. How can the topic we all have experience and knowledge to share about be so rarely talked about?<\/p>\n

    \n
  • In trying to answer this question, I enrolled in the dual Master\u2019s program in Social Work and Sex Therapy at Widener University in the United States.<\/li>\n
  • Academically, I worked at the \u201cInterdisciplinary Sexuality Research Collaborative (ISRC)\u201d lab of the Center for Human Sexuality Studies, where I designed and implemented educational programs and interventions for physicians and educators.<\/li>\n
  • Clinically, I worked at the private clinic \u201cThe Center for Growth\u201d in Philadelphia, providing sex therapy to clients with sexual and relational difficulties in individual, couple, and group settings. In 2019, I presented my research on the impact of using a second language on the empowerment of minority sexual identities at the 24th International Congress of the World Association for Sexual Health in Mexico. This was when I realised my passion for interculturality.<\/li>\n
  • Despite my professors\u2019 predictions for a promising career in the United States, I followed my heart and returned to Greece to start my private practice in 2021. Since then, I have been working clinically with national and international clients, focusing on interracial and intercultural relationships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    My constant career aspiration is to become what I have always needed growing up: a source of accurate, scientific information about sexuality – without judgment or shame, but clear, inclusive, and enthusiastic.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
