ABOUT THE THERAPIST
As a psychologist, I aim to provide a space in which individuals can feel heard and seen. In therapy, we explore life's complexities and challenges with the goal of working through them and learning new ways to cope and approach them. Each individual is unique, and therefore therapy is catered to the needs of each person, using a blend of therapeutic modalities and guided by evidence-based practices and psychodynamic theories.
I previously worked at Maaynei Hayeshu Medical Center and Tel Hashomer's psychiatric facility, with experience treating a diverse range of issues including depression, anxiety, life changes, family dynamics, adjustment difficulties, and identity issues. Currently, I see patients privately in my Givat Shmuel clinic. I work in both English and Hebrew with adults of all ages.

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.
Psychodynamic TherapyPsychodynamic therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on the unconscious mind and how it affects behavior. It works to help people understand and work through past experiences and feelings that may be causing difficulties in the present. This type of therapy encourages individuals to explore their emotions, relationships, and behaviors in order to gain insight into their current difficulties. It can help individuals better understand themselves and their motivations, and gain insight into how past events have impacted their current lives. People tend to develop defense mechanisms when faced with challenges in life. Defense mechanisms may keep painful feelings, memories, and experiences in the unconscious. A few common defense mechanisms include: denial, repression, and rationalization. Psychodynamic therapists encourage people to speak freely about their emotions, desires, and fears. Being open may help uncover vulnerable feelings that have been pushed out of conscious awareness. According to psychodynamic theory, behavior is influenced by unconscious thought. Once painful feelings are brought forth and processed, the defense mechanisms are no longer needed and a person in treatment can start changing unhelpful patterns when coping with life’s challenges.
