Process

I work with adults, couples, and children, on challenges related to individual and cultural trauma and healing, relationships issues, loss and grieving, lifestyle patterns, psychosomatic symptoms, and life changes.

My hope in our psychotherapy / psychoanalytical process is to help with making room for new ways of partnering with yourself, feeling more at home in your unique skin.

We talk about your challenges and symptoms, explore your life’s patterns, emotional atmosphere and the underlying unconscious dynamics that shape your experience. We actively engage with your night dreams and inner images, while attuning to your body’s intelligence as a place of resourcing. Gradually, the process can help you notice your tendencies and inclinations, move through self-defeating patterns, broaden your response repertoire to events and feelings, develop a wider symbolic attitude and sensitivity, and nurture a more meaningful relationship with your inner and outer worlds.

My approach is process-oriented, focusing on the creative aspect of the psyche and attuning to your unique situation and background.

My orientation is rooted in Jungian psychoanalytical psychology and informed by Archetypal psychology, Depth psychology, and psychodynamic embodied approaches, integrating somatic, expressive arts, and sandplay. 

My lived experience across the Middle-East, Europe, and the United States informs my work with a deepened and widened multicultural sensibility. 

My practice is located in West Los Angeles / Santa Monica, CA. Sessions are held in person at my office, and when appropriate, online appointments are available. Fee and related details are discussed during our initial consultation. Sliding scale is offered for individuals affected by financial hardship, humanitarian crisis, and war.
