Choice is so important in our lives. Unfortunately, so many of our choices are rooted in past relationships and the defenses we required in the past to cope with pain. Many of these are no longer helpful now. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients experience their life in the present with increased fullness, creativity, joy and authenticity.
Together we will work through your pain and identify coping patterns you have learned in past relationships and experiences. We will explore the degree to which these patterns continue to aid you in the present and we will develop more healthy and regulated tools and techniques to meet your experience and deal with issues of anxiety, depression, grief, anger, etc. We will process traumas and help store them as past events and not as events that govern the present. Of central value will be our relationship as a place where you can bring both your dreams and hurts, what has come into being and what has not. I am a warm, caring and curious therapist looking to both deepen my clients’ understanding of themselves and their capacity to help themselves with practical techniques. My work includes different modalities including psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Experience (SE), Spiritual Care and Mindfulness. I tailor my approach to client’s needs and interests.
A bit about my background: I was born in Russia, grew up in America and made aliya 25 years ago. After my move to Israel, I trained as a clinical social worker, a CBT therapist and a psychodynamic psychotherapist. In addition to my work as a therapist, for many years I trained spiritual care providers and am currently running support groups for mothers who recently gave birth. My work is culturally sensitive and I work in English, Hebrew and Russian.
I look forward to talking to you in my clinic or by Zoom.
