I understand that starting with a therapist can be a very vulnerable experience.
And it can be difficult to find a therapist that you feel comfortable bringing this vulnerability.
One of the most important predictors for positive outcomes in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client.
So I really commend you for taking your time to find the right therapist.
If we work together, the process is collaborative and we will explore the inner landscape using a lens of compassionate curiosity.
You'll come to know your triggers, feelings, needs, and self with gentleness and nonjudgment.
I am very drawn to compassion-focused, body-centered therapeutic modalities, and a large part of our process together will be developing your self-regulation and self-compassion towards this inner process, and to learn techniques so you can use these outside of the therapy space.
I have an integrative approach that uses: Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness-based Cogitive Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry, Focusing, Polyvagal, and Trauma Therapy.
A little about me: I have a varied background ranging from academia, to marketing, to yoga teaching.
In 2009 during my PhD graduate studies in Social Work, I was a counselor for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors for Middlesex County, NJ. The focus of my graduate studies was in family/partner violence and sexual violence.
After making aliyah to Israel in 2011, I switched gears and began teaching trauma-informed yoga.
Seeing the emotional health benefits in yoga students, I was inspired to return to practicing therapy using compassion-based, body-centered psychotherapy modalities.

It would be a pleasure to hear from you, and I would be happy to speak on the phone/Whatsapp to discuss what your needs are.
