About the Therapist
I am an experienced counsellor and family therapist in private practice. I speak English, German, French and some Yiddish. In my practice I see adult individuals, couples and families. My experience includes working for 16 years in the counselling team at Jewish Care Victoria, a social welfare organization in Melbourne, Australia, where I worked with a range of diverse client presentations. My passion is to understand and help people. I have been described as having a calm, considered approach and I have been referred to as 'a safe pair of hands'.
My Approach to Helping
My therapeutic style centers on authenticity, empathy and trust, which allows clients to experience a healing and supportive relationship. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful and confidential space where my clients feel genuinely heard and understood. I encourage my clients to actively participate in the counselling process by setting goals and building on their strengths. I use an eclectic approach to therapy which involves assessing what framework and techniques work best for each individual, couple and family.
Specific Issues I'm Skilled at Helping With
Anxiety, Aged care issues including Holocaust trauma in 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation, Carer support, Dating support for singles & pre-marital counselling for engaged couples, Depression, Grief and loss, Infertility and IVF support, Life transition & Menopause, Olim support, Parenting & step- parenting support, Relationship issues including family, marital and friends, Self -esteem, Stress management & life/work balance
My Role as a Therapist
My role as a therapist is to help clients gain clarity and insight into the issues they are grappling with, to help clients discover the strengths and tools they already have to help themselves, and to support clients in difficult times.
