ABOUT THE THERAPIST

I help adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with greater self-understanding and confidence, offering a warm and collaborative space to explore who they are and how they want to live.

My Approach to Helping:

I see therapy as an opportunity to understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped us and to develop new ways of relating to ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

Specific Issues I'm Skilled at Helping With:

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, family dynamics, loneliness, life transitions, everyday stress, and questions around identity, direction, and independence. I have particular experience working with teens and young adults as they navigate changing relationships, increased independence, academic and social pressures, and major transitions. I also have experience supporting young women during their year in Israel. My training includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral approaches, and somatic work, which I integrate based on each client's individual needs.

My Role as a Therapist:

My role is to create a space where you can be honest, curious, and fully yourself while we work together to explore what is happening beneath the surface. While we don't get to choose every circumstance that shapes our lives, we can develop greater freedom in how we respond and how we choose to move forward. I believe people are capable of profound growth and change, and therapy can help us reconnect with our strengths, restore trust in ourselves, and create more choice in how we live and relate to the world around us.

Additional Information About my Practice:

I see clients in person in Baka, Jerusalem, as well as online. I work with adolescents and adults and offer sessions in English. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and can be changed. It is based on the idea that how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion) can influence how we behave. CBT helps people identify and challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking, leading to improved mood and behavior. ‘Homework’, usually containing practical writing exercises, is often completed by the client between sessions to reinforce the therapy. Examples of tools that practitioners often use are journaling, challenging beliefs, and mindfulness.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed by Marsha Linehan to help people learn to better manage and cope with emotions and stress. It focuses on developing skills and strategies to help regulate emotions, improve relationships and communication, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. Through DBT, people learn to identify and modify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, while also learning to accept and validate their own feelings. DBT teaches skills to help individuals become aware of and accept and regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal relationships.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that uses the metaphor of an internal family of parts to help people gain awareness of how different parts of themselves can interact in healthy and unhealthy ways. IFS encourages people to become curious about their different parts, with the goal of helping them gain access to their true Self or core. Through this process, people can learn to recognize and care for the different parts of themselves, as well as develop compassionate understanding for the origins of their parts. A key principle of IFS is that each part within the person has its own positive intention and is trying to protect the person in some way. By understanding the positive intention of each part, the practitioner and client can work together to help the parts feel heard and understood, and to find more adaptive ways of meeting their needs. IFS has been found to be an effective treatment for a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
