Testimonials:

Individual Therapy:

“I just want to let you know that I really, really appreciate working with you. It has been a fantastic little turning point in my life. You are a fantastic therapist. I felt so comfortable just being open with you. It impacted this new relationship that I’m in, which is a miracle itself. I’m so open with him and so 100% myself with him…I feel so free in myself at the moment…It has been wonderful. Therapy with you really opened a part of me…I can say “oh, I’m actually alright.” I have got such a deep level of self assurance than I had.”

“Yoky is a beautiful, gentle soul!… I didn’t realize how much I needed her! She was very patient and attentive, and created a safe environment for me to be able to express myself comfortably. I think what made these sessions so special, was her ability to connect with my energy and help me touch deep into places I had avoided before. As hard as it was, she guided me into finding inner peace with the subject. I want to thank you, Yoky, for being the beautiful spirit that was sent to me.”

Couples Therapy:

“Working with Yoki has been great! We have greatly appreciated how her work is embodied and experiential, to the core of of our patterns and held with true compassion and curiosity. I highly recommend her!”

"Yoky helped us find the roots of our love with a gentle, fun, and tender approach. What really made the difference for us was that the sessions felt light, and were often concentrated on somatic practices as well as conversation. This is what we needed as we are both people who tend to be more in our heads, but it is in the body that trauma and other things are stored… Deeply grateful to her, our relationship truly changed since we worked with her."
