ABOUT

I believe in a holistic and person-centered model, tailoring my therapy practice to meet my clients’ needs (from the practical to the existential). I’m known for my personal warmth and empathy, with a gentle, trauma-informed approach to psychotherapy.

I’m a member of the Israeli Multidisciplinary Association for Psychotherapy, with over 14 years postgraduate experience as a couples counselor and clinical therapist.

I am trained in EMDR, and draw on relational, mindfulness-based and somatically-oriented approaches to psychotherapy.

My work with individuals includes effective support for trauma, stress and anger management, anxiety issues, low self-esteem, depression, substance use and addictions.

My work with couples is focused on fostering a safe and supportive space in counseling to address the deeper needs and feelings underlying your concerns, to help you heal and move forward.

I offer therapeutic support for relationship issues, including marriage and couples counselling, parent coaching and support for clients coping with life transitions, as well as grief and loss.

My clinic is located in Pardes Hanna-Karkur. I am also available for virtual sessions and offers a free, initial consult. If you are interested in being in touch, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. It uses a structured approach to address the past events that may be causing current distress, and uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to activate different neural networks in the brain in order to reduce symptoms of trauma. EMDR has been found to be effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Holistic PsychotherapyHolistic psychotherapy emphasizes the individual's interconnectedness between the individual's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects and views them as inseparable components of a single holistic system. Holistic psychotherapy focuses on understanding how these components interact and affect a person’s wellbeing. The goal of holistic psychotherapy is to create a sense of wholeness and harmony within the individual, and to foster self-awareness and self-care. Holistic practitioners use a variety of approaches, including traditional talk therapy, mindfulness practices, and body-based therapies like movement therapy. They also may incorporate nutrition, physical activity, and other lifestyle factors into treatment plans.

Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian Therapy)Person-centered therapy, or Rogerian therapy, was developed by Carl Rogers in the 1940’s. It is a form of talk therapy that emphasizes the importance of providing psychological safety, unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding to clients. This type of therapy is based on the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for self-actualization and self-understanding and that the therapist's role is to provide a supportive environment in which this process can take place. Through the use of active listening, open-ended questions, and non-judgmental reflection, the therapist helps the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and accepting environment. By doing so, clients are able to gain insight into their issues, develop a greater understanding of themselves, and work towards personal growth.

Relational PsychotherapyRelational psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on a person’s relationships with others and the dynamics between them. It emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist, and it explores the meaning and purpose of relationships in the client’s life. Relational psychotherapy seeks to understand how the client’s past relationships shape their current experiences and how the client interacts with others. The goal is to help the person develop healthier relationships and better communication skills so they can become more emotionally connected to others.
