ABOUT THE THERAPIST

I offer in depth diagnostic evaluations and thoughtful, collaborative, evidence-based psychopharmacology for a range of disorders and the complexities of real life.

My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. I believe effective psychiatric treatment begins with carefully understanding the whole person—not just symptoms, but temperament, relationships, life circumstances, strengths, values, and patterns that may have developed over many years.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, trauma-related symptoms, emotional dysregulation, executive functioning difficulties, and complex life transitions. Some patients come in crisis, while others are high-functioning people who feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted despite outward success.

Treatment may include psychoeducation, medication management, behavioral strategies, parent guidance, or a combination of approaches depending on the patient's needs. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping patients function more effectively, feel more grounded, and develop a clearer understanding of themselves. I value honesty, warmth, nuance, and practical problem-solving. I strive to create an environment where patients feel understood rather than judged.

My role is to help patients better understand what they are experiencing, identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop practical and sustainable ways of moving forward. I aim to provide both support, clarity, and results. At times that means helping patients process difficult emotions; at other times it means offering structure, perspective, psychoeducation, behavioral tools, and carefully considering medication options when appropriate.

I view treatment as a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work closely with patients and when appropriate their therapists and families to develop treatment plans that are realistic, individualized, and aligned with their goals and values.

My practice is primarily telehealth-based, allowing patients to access care in a flexible and convenient way. I work in Israel and the US, so I'm happy to offer appointments in the mornings as well as at night.
