ABOUT THE THERAPIST

"Meaning-Centered Coaching": Focusing on meaning and hope in your life is the key to overcoming crisis, solving problems, creating purpose and living with your authentic passion!

I follow the fundamental tenets and approach of the famed psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor and author of  "Man's Search for Meaning"- that all of us are driven, motivated and inspired by finding meaning in our lives. Meaning is something unique to us, that can and will vary at different times, challenges and situations in our lives.

By identifying the deep values of the individual, along with the search for meaning in any given situation, I "team up" with the client to identify the "path forward"- to increase hope, agency, meaningful goals and action. In other words by finding and leveraging the connection between meaning, hope, action and support, I aspire to help the client along his/her path to solve problems, overcome crisis and grow into "who they can and hope to be" in their lives!

Life transitions: career, life changes, aging, retirement, family issues, following military service, difficulty after aliyah, cross-cultural conflict, communication challenges, personal "search" for "who am I?" Growing through crisis and adversity: helping people recovering from health, financial, family challenges and crisis, adversity, to develop and cultivate hope and action following major traumatic events or processes in one's life. Enhancing personal self-esteem in navigating life, career or other challenges- helping form practical strategies, vision, plans, confidence, motivation and agency.

As a coach my role is to help the client feel supported and that we are a "team" to help him/her to formulate their goals that are of meaning to them. As a coach I am here for him/her to confidentially listen, brainstorm, help with focus, vision, belief in self, planning; I am a partner in helping identify the strengths, passions, values and core meanings for the client in his/her life at this time. In addition, my role as a coach is to hold accountable if I am asked to do so, always with a deep sense of respect for the client's humanity and "existential search" in life- that we are all living under the existential limitations of life and if we help him/her connect "internally" with who they are and CAN BE, life has deep meaning for them on their journey!

Over the last nearly 21 years I have spent over 6000 hours with hundreds of clients in all walks of life.  I deeply believe that the client has his/her answers and my job is to help them identify what is really "calling them" at this moment and help them to navigate this forward. My orientation is both "inspirational" as well as very practical- the two go together in professional coaching. Most of my work is done online today, however I have my clinic in Kadima-Zoran for those who wish to meet in person.
