ABOUT

I am originally from Vancouver Canada, now living in Tel Aviv. I am a Registered Clinical Counselor and Art Therapist- working with Olim Chadashim, young professionals, university students, children (age 5+), and parents. I provide counselling and art therapy to facilitate with personal growth, developing resilience, improving relationships, and gaining a sense of empowerment, balance, and control in life. Through counselling and art therapy, I help clients to create the tools they need for personal development. By creating a safe space and a genuine relationship, clients can be creative and feel capable of making the changes they need in their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. I work with children, parents, and Olim one-to-one to address challenges including getting in control of emotions, handling stress, coping and thriving with diagnoses such as ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, and depression, navigating and improving relationships, and recovering after loss or trauma. As an Olah Chadasha, I find it especially rewarding to work with the Olim and young professionals that have made significant life choices involved in making a move to Israel and building a new life. I provide a therapeutic outlet to help you to process emotions and gain personal insight, and to handle work pressures and other challenges inherent in transitioning between different cultures and communities. I realize that living and working remotely often requires a lot of flexibility, I also offer online zoom sessions.  I aim to help my clients develop more resilience for the future by fostering a sense of courage, capability, connection, and significance. I provide purposeful and focused treatment, that is collaborative and shaped by client goals. I draw on theories that suit unique client needs. I work with a level of professionalism, and also informally, authentically, and results-oriented.
