Since early adolescence I have been interested in how the human mind works. My background is in holistic psychology and mindfulness, somatic psychology that examines the body-mind relationship. I work mainly from a trauma-informed perspective, and I utilize evidence-based approach such as CBT when needed. I have been working with people for over ten years.  I view psychotherapy mainly as necessary self-care, a space to be with yourself and connect with your inner life.  It is less place for advice or “fixing”, and more a place for attunement and improved self-awareness.  

 

I completed my undergraduate education at the State University of New York and earned my Master's degree from New York University. My professional journey led me to become trained in the EMDR method in New York, which I find to be highly effective in processing traumatic experiences. Additionally, I hold certifications in CBT and hypnotherapy, constantly seeking innovative methods to address emotional and psychological wounds.

My commitment to expanding therapeutic modalities led me to pursue training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAT) at the Integral Psychiatry Institute in Colorado. Currently, I am furthering my academic pursuits through a PhD program at Sofia University, focusing on Transpersonal Psychology, a lifelong passion of mine. My expertise is in altered states of consciousness, trauma, hypnosis, and women's issues. I find fulfillment in assisting couples in their growth journey, fostering understanding of relationship dynamics and individual development.

 

My approach is holistic. I view each client as a unique individual with immense inner potential for growth. I think that it is precisely at the time of our pain – presenting as depression, anxiety, feeling stuck, overwhelm, loss or grief – that we are provided with an opportunity to tap into our inner healing power.  I think the therapeutic alliance between myself and my client is crucial for the therapy to be successful.
