About the Therapist
As a psychotherapist, I believe if you understand more about how your brain works, you can start to make sense of reactions, tendencies and habits, especially those that might be getting in your way. Therapy can be a place to explore the roots of those patterns and choose tools to help you navigate life more successfully. It starts with the safety created in the therapy room. Clients are often already in a place where life can feel painful and then on top of what is happening to them, their own judgements , self criticism and blame just increase that suffering. I strive to create a place where you can bring all parts of yourself and we can work to understand why those parts make sense and how to work with them from a compassionate stance. My training and strong interest is in working individually with adolescents (14 and up) and adults, especially those going through transitional periods, challenges with family or those experiencing anxiety.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked in Shana b'Aretz and gap year programs since I made aliya. This has given me a depth of experience with the unique challenges that clients can face during the year in Israel, and the many opportunities for growth. In addition to being trained in classical talk therapy, I have learned and incorporated a myriad of eclectic and expressive modalities such as DBT, IFS, mindfulness, visual imagery, art directives and somatic work, which I have found to be enormously helpful in my work with clients.
