ABOUT THE THERAPIST

I made aliyah to Israel in 2010. I am a licensed adult psychiatrist in Israel and the United States. I was trained at Yale University School of Medicine and continued working there for five years as an Assistant Clinical Professor and as a clinician for outpatient psychiatry. When I first meet a patient I do an initial evaluation for 90 minutes to determine the diagnosis and at the end of this meeting discuss my impression and also prescribe medication if needed.  Afterwards I provide 30 to 60 minute  follow up sessions for medication follow up and or therapy.

I spent four years working in the ADHD unit at Geha Hospital where I did clinical research and initial evaluations for adults who have ADHD as well as other comorbidities including mood and anxiety disorders. I spent an additional four years working  at the outpatient Chava Clinic of Tel Hashomer Hospital where I treated women with all mental health disorders related to pregnancy and postpartum states. I now only  work privately mostly serving the Anglo population of Tel Aviv. I treat all disorders including adult ADHD, intrapartum and postpartum issues, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. I strive for the best both with medication management and therapy. I believe that the relationship with a psychiatrist is both intimate and professional and is enhanced by interpersonal trust.
