Individual Therapy and Counseling New York

Personal Approach To Therapy

I adopt a highly humanistic approach in my therapeutic practice, emphasizing the uniqueness of each individual, and tailoring therapy to align with their distinct needs. I place paramount importance on fostering a robust and meaningful therapeutic connection between myself and the client. 

In the pursuit of this connection, I skillfully employ evidence-based techniques such as motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and humor to help my clients progress in their therapeutic journey. These methods serve to create a welcoming and warm-hearted atmosphere within the therapeutic space, facilitating a conducive environment for the clients’ personal growth and healing.

Professional Background

Before pursuing my graduate degree, I worked as a New York City EMT where I was able to interact with and help individuals from all walks of life before and during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. My experience helping people through times of extreme crisis equipped me to provide support to anyone overcoming even the most challenging circumstances in their lives.

I possesses extensive experience in the field of therapy, having provided counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. My clinical training includes valuable experience gained from providing counseling to incarcerated youth within New York City detention centers, and additional training acquired through my tenure at a reputable private practice in New York City.

I demonstrate a notable aptitude for working with youth and young adults navigating transitional phases in life while grappling with significant systemic challenges. I dedicate myself to assisting individuals in overcoming these adversities.

Having grown up in multiple countries including Spain, Saudi Arabia, Israel, South Africa, Greece and the USA, I have had the opportunity to gain multicultural insight and awareness that has helped me interact with individuals of different cultural backgrounds who may find themselves in my care.

BUILD INNER BALANCE

As people, we have two different sides to us: masculine and feminine. When we combine these two sides, we can find balance and become our best selves. The masculine side helps us with logic and being practical, while the feminine side helps us with creativity and understanding others’ feelings. It may take some work to combine these two sides, but it’s worth it because it can help us have a happy, balanced life.

Emotional power

By training body awareness, we tap into the power of our bodies and develop a more mindful relationship with ourselves and our emotions. This leads to a healthier way of living and better management of our feelings. Our bodies connect with our emotions, allowing us to understand and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity. Overall, training body awareness takes charge of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
