About the Therapist

I am a veteran Social Worker and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapist with a range of experience working with school-age children and adolescents, young adults and parents wanting guidance on issues including, but not limited to ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and trauma. I believe that therapy is a process of acceptance and change that starts with the therapist-client alliance.

I earned my Master's of Social Work and moved to Israel in 2003. Being a part of both American and Israeli communities has raised my understanding and empathy towards the complex issues we face - whether as immigrants finding their place or visitors in Israel. I speak both English and Hebrew fluently and have professional experience in both.
