About My Clients
I work with individuals and couples dealing with past trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, new baby issues, parenting concerns, grief and loss. I help couples redefine their relationship, increase their ability to communicate with one another, and move towards warmth and closeness. I see this work as a privilege, hold it sacredly and host a safe, non judgmental, accepting, intuitive, trustworthy environment.
My Background and Approach
I have dedicated numerous years assisting the community providing outreach counseling to the homeless, mentally ill, substance using populations on the margins of society. I have provided counseling and emotional support to individuals at the clinics connected to the university hospital of Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. I incorporate an existential, humanistic, and client centered, trauma informed approach. With couples I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy informed techniques. With families and parents I draw from attachment theory and utilize a positive discipline model. I am trained in school and college level counseling. Native/Bilingual proficiency in English and Turkish.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the connection of mind, body and spirit and use a treatment approach that combines western therapeutic techniques with ancient healing practices. I foster a non judgmental, safe space and welcome all with genuine kindness. With authenticity, intuition, empathic listening, and humor, I meet my clients where they are in their healing.
