Since the age of 14, I became fascinated with the human condition, and especially how and why we suffer... It all began with wanting to help my mother, who suffered from unimaginable trauma, and my own suffering, from living in a strange world and witnessing much of the horrors of human existence since a very early age.

Even though I had learned that suffering is a natural and unavoidable part of all of our lives, and is in fact, more normal than trying to be happy all the time, I knew that our "fight" against and running away from painful experiences do not help us feel happiness or peace. I also realize that all creatures strive to be happy and peaceful, and I began to study how to manage distress, find ease in extreme moments of emotional turmoil, and what to do about the perception that I am all alone with no one to help, and nowhere to turn to. I learned how to thrive and channel my distressing energies into a higher consciousness and to access the right kind of help for my states of suffering.

Although it takes several lifetimes to become at complete ease in any condition or environment that are out of our control, we are still living in our human shells, bound by limitations of our biology, our socialization, conditioning, our environment, traumas and most of all by the demands of our modern lives. I am still learning and searching, as we all should for the entire course of our lives, seeking to find a way to live with suffering as well as joy side by side, in life's duality, in order to find wholeness and unity.

I worked through my own trauma with various professionals, and despite having knowledge and skill to provide "therapy", I believe with all my heart that the most helpful and most effective form of "treatment" is one where you are allowed to feel all that your body and energetic self needs to feel. I believe with every fiber of my being that you, as a soul, in spirit, and a child of the universe, that we need to simply be heard and understood above all else. You need to be accepted and validated for everything you have been through and truly cherished and loved without conditions. Then, when you have released the things that had been held in your body, your psyche, and the deep pain and suffering you have experienced by being allowed to tell your story, and be believed and be allowed to express yourself in your rawest and most vulnerable form in a safe and supportive environment, and only then, can we even begin to delve into the countless coping strategies to get through even the most uncomfortable, traumatic, and testing moments in your lifetime.

I do not work in the traditional therapeutic way, and I incorporate many forms of healing as I do not believe we, as animals and beings of this earth and beyond, can completely and fully heal by simply sitting in an office and made to apologize when we cry, to be made to be forced to sit in a chair and "calm down" when the inner waves of your ocean has been rocked. I do not believe in healing by making you do "work", I do not believe that you can be truly healed without being able to be liberated from the social conditioning which binds you and which has held you captive of all your creative and emotional expression. I believe we need to feel connection and liberation from what's deemed as "normal" before any technical "therapy" can happen. To me, in order to heal, we need to "do" less, and "be" more. It is a revealing, rather than piling on that can make us anew again.

​

I am a soul, a human, and a counselor who would love to walk beside you and guide you, with your permission, to traverse through the rest of your life without you having to do it alone so that you can see the true magnificence of this realm and beyond. I specialize in matters regarding awakening.
