I was raised in the warmth of Middle Eastern and Armenian culture, where resilience, deep reflection, and the beauty of community were woven into everyday life. Now, as a New Yorker, I’ve learned to blend the wisdom of the East with the dynamic energy of the West, creating a unique space for healing and growth. Fluent in Arabic, Armenian, and English, I connect with clients from all backgrounds on this shared journey of transformation.

I value authenticity above all. I’m inspired by the poetic wisdom of Khalil Gibran, the psychoanalytic and spiritual insights of Carl Jung, the hypnotic genius of Milton Erickson, the philosophy of Mr. Gurdjieff, the music of Komitas, and the raw creative spirit of my artist friend Khaled Akil. I often read books in both English and Arabic, finding new meaning each time. You’ll find me listening to soul-stirring folk music, dancing freely to Spanish rhythms, exploring the ancient symbolism of Mayan culture, diving into astrology, and staying endlessly curious about religions, spirituality, and poetry.

As a certified hypnotist and licensed child therapist, I specialize in helping people to reconnect with their inner child —the part of us that holds old wounds, fears, and limiting beliefs. My work is rooted in developing a sense of compassion & connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the deeper meaning of our lives.
