My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, while also providing practical tools to help clients overcome challenges and achieve lasting growth.
I provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, heard, and respected. My approach is trauma- informed and integrates EMDR, CBT, psychodynamic understanding, and family systems concepts. I work with clients to identify strengths, build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and create lasting emotional and behavior change.
Self esteem, couples relationships and childhood abuse. I work extensively with clients who are products of dysfunctional backgrounds and help them learn how to practice positive parenting children of all ages and stages. In addition, I help parents understand and learn to accept adolescents choosing a different lifestyle from their parents. I work with grief and loss, life transitions, women's issues, and recovery from abuse. I also have extensive experience helping individuals at all stages of life, navigate personal and family decisions related to divorce and religious life challenges, all with respect for their values.
My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, understand the roots of their struggles and develop healthier ways of coping. I partner with clients to help them gain insight, heal from past experiences, strengthen relationships, and move towards meaningful, lasting change.
I have over 25 yrs of experience as a psychotherapist. I hold a Master's degree, am EMDR trained, CASAC counselor, and received specialized training and experience working with survivors of abuse through the Family Institute at Neve Yerushalayim. I am committed to providing individualized, culturally sensitive care that respects each client's unique background, beliefs, and goals.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. It uses a structured approach to address the past events that may be causing current distress, and uses bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to activate different neural networks in the brain in order to reduce symptoms of trauma. EMDR has been found to be effective for a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Family Attachment Narrative TherapyFamily Attachment Narrative Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals to develop secure, healthy attachments to their family members. This type of therapy focuses on the narrative, or stories, that individuals tell about their family relationships and how they view themselves in those relationships. Through this therapeutic process, individuals are encouraged to explore their past experiences with family members, gain a better understanding of their current family dynamics, and develop healthier, more secure attachments to their family members. Therapists using this approach believe that the caregivers are the most crucial component in the healing process, and therefore incorporate caregiver narratives as an important part of the therapeutic process in addressing and repairing the unmet needs of the client. This approach to treatment is primarily designed for children, teens, and young adults who are experiencing issues related to identity, disrupted attachment, and early childhood trauma.
Family Systems TherapyFamily Systems Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of understanding how the family functions as a whole, and how individual family members interact and affect one another. It focuses on how family dynamics, such as communication patterns, roles, and power dynamics, shape behavior, and how changing these dynamics can lead to positive change. Family Systems Therapy is a collaborative approach, where the therapist works with the family as a whole to identify and address areas of conflict and distress.
Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT)IRT focuses on helping couples identify and address their unconscious patterns of behavior that contribute to conflict and dissatisfaction in the relationship. IRT also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and validation in healing past wounds and creating a more positive and fulfilling relationship. IRT helps couples develop communication skills and a deeper understanding of each other's needs and feelings.
Through Imago Therapy, couples will be able to explore their communication patterns, discover sources of conflict, and create new ways of connecting with each other that build empathy and understanding. The therapist will also work with the couple to create a vision for their relationship and set realistic goals for how to achieve it. This therapy helps couples to develop better communication, trust, and intimacy, as well as providing hope for the future of their relationship.
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), originally developed by Albert Ellis, laid the foundation for what is now known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is a philosophically and empirically based psychotherapy that focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems by identifying and challenging irrational beliefs. Based on the notion that we are typically unaware of our deeply embedded irrational thoughts and how they affect us on a day-to-day basis, Ellis established three guiding principles of REBT. These are known as the ABCs: activating events, beliefs, and consequences. Rewiring old patterns of thinking requires a lot of work and commitment, so active participation and openness in the therapy process is essential to success.
