ABOUT THE THERAPIST

I am a psychodynamic Art Therapist, specialising in working with boys, teenagers and men with a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges, most predominantly ASD & ADD.   

I see clients one to one in my art studio in Modiin, and provide them with a safe space, to express their thoughts and feelings either verbally or through the medium of Art. At times, I will ask probing questions to help clarify matters, or to try and explore themes or topics which require further investigation. My goal in therapy is to help clients to make sense of their thoughts and feelings, and then to help them to explore ways in which they can make practical changes in their lives to help them to thrive. Each session is non-directive, allowing my clients to lead each session, choosing whatever materials or mediums they want to use. Some may choose to work with paint or clay, whilst others may simply prefer just to talk.

I also work closely with parents and offer them sessions to ensure that the changes we are making in the child’s behavior is supported and filtered through to the rest of the family.

Since qualifying in 2011 I have worked predominantly with teenage boys experiencing a diverse range of challenges; including parental divorce, addictions, ASD, ADD, anxiety, self harming, psychosis and violent behavior.

I am able to connect well with this client group, and to help them to express their thoughts and feelings and to work together to implement strategies and techniques to help them with things like anger management, self-esteem, self-care, identity, anxiety and time management.

My role as a therapist is to help clients improve their long-term mental health by treating the symptoms of mental disorders and offering lifestyle advice and therapy techniques that can help clients improve their mental well-being outside of therapy sessions. 

My role includes conducting therapy sessions with clients to build trust and discuss personal problems, asking clients questions about their thoughts and feelings, helping clients develop strategies to manage their mental health outside of therapy, supporting clients during stressful periods and teaching effective methods of communication to clients.
