ABOUT THE THERAPIST

I’m a relational psychotherapist supporting adults who feel trapped or overwhelmed by emotions or patterns that seem to take over their inner world. You might find yourself flooded, shut down, on edge, or stuck in the same painful thoughts and reactions that hold you back in your life and relationships.

In our work together, we’ll slow things down and create space so you can begin to understand what’s happening underneath the surface. Within a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship, you can start to meet yourself where you are, feel steadier on the inside, and find the bravery to make meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is relational and trauma-informed. We’ll pay attention not only to what you’re thinking and feeling, but also to what your body is holding, and what happens between us as we work together. When you’re met with warmth, steadiness, and real understanding, it becomes easier to feel safe enough to soften, get curious, and respond differently. Over time, therapy becomes a place where you can practice being more fully yourself with another person, with more trust, safety, and freedom, which you can bring with you into your life. 

For those drawn to creative exploration, we have the option to integrate art and expressive techniques alongside psychotherapy.  For those processing traumatic experiences, I use EMDR and somatic techniques.

• Trauma and the ways it keeps showing up -Maybe something happened to you, or maybe it was experiences of feeling unsafe, unseen, or alone. Now your body reacts before you even have time to think. You might feel numb, on edge, or like you’re not fully “here” in your own life. I help people work through single-event trauma, attachment trauma, and sexual trauma, so your body can finally exhale, and you can come back into your life.

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm - When your mind won’t switch off, your body feels vigilant, tense or flooded we can begin to find emotional safety. Tools to regulate your nervous system and understand the underlying fears, beliefs and triggers.

• Life transitions, identity, and self-worth - When you’re navigating change, relocation, relationship shifts, or a deeper question of who you are. This can bring up feelings of not “being enough” or feeling like you’re failing. These periods are hard to navigate, especially alone. We can work together to make sense of what’s been stirred up, strengthen your self-trust, and feel more authentic and confident.

• Relationship difficulties and painful patterns -You might feel stuck in the same arguments, walking on eggshells, overthinking, or feeling alone even when you’re with someone. Maybe conflict feels too intense, or closeness feels unsafe. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of the patterns you keep getting pulled into, so you can communicate your boundaries, feel more secure in your relationships, and stay connected without losing yourself.

My role as a therapist is to offer a grounded, attuned space where you can safely explore what’s happening within you. I hold the emotional room so you can feel steadier and more able to meet the challenges in your life. Together, we make sense of your experiences and create space for new ways of feeling and relating to take shape.

I offer both in-person sessions in Tel Aviv and online - Originally from New Zealand, I am a native English speaker, which allows you to express yourself fully in your mother tongue.
