I have been working as a therapist/social worker with adults, children, and families since 1993. While I have been finding my own true self through Western psychotherapy, I began my journey on a Mystical Path; studying both Western psychology and Eastern Mystical Path, experiencing them, I came to integrate these two schools, incorporating both the Western and Eastern psychotherapy into my therapeutic work. In my practice, I use mystical stories, poems, and movements, when necessary.
Mystical stories and poems are good vehicles to find and communicate the deeper meanings of our life, one of the essential vehicles for the expression of love and truth. Rumi's poems can heal and transform one's heart, this transformation enables us to take this difficult journey.
Movements involve direct experiences through our bodies. Our first language and our first relationship are through movements and touch. In short, my work is to help you to awaken your inner love, in order to heal your soul, to find joy and beauty in your life.
