Life hands us difficult challenges. Ironically, it is often those challenges that turn into our biggest blessings. But we must be willing to search. We often forget that one of our most beautiful gifts is the freedom to pursue happiness. There is nothing stopping us from that pursuit. The key word is "pursue." We must take action to discover happiness. Once you find it, happiness becomes part of your DNA. Happy people laugh, fall, get up, and laugh again. They can't wait for the next joke.

I have over 20 years experience in working with children, adolescents and families with various backgrounds and socioeconomic status. My specialty and passion is in working with parents in helping them become the best parents they can be; including managing behavior problems at home and school, co-parenting, family therapy and Child-Parent dyadic Psychotherapy. I am able to provide therapy in both Hebrew and English. To accommodate the local Jewish community, I have available appointment times on Sunday, in addition to weekdays.

I believe everyone is capable of change, no matter how stuck or lost. I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, teen issues, and maternal mental health (complete list below).

Choosing a therapist is deeply personal and usually comes down to an unexplainable sense or feeling that it's right. Of course it's difficult to develop that sense from a web profile so I provide a free initial consultation to support a more personal and informed process of choosing a therapist. The catalyst for therapy is often a debilitating chronic anxiety or depression that "is not me", or pain in a relationship that we care deeply about, or an addiction that hurts the ones that matter most to us.

As a clinical psychologist and therapeutic hypnotist, I know for a fact we are all born to win. We learn to sabotage and abuse/self-abuse, and whatever we learn, we can un-learn. I am committed to dissolving the negative programming, and freeing the "Inner Winner" in clients.

I am an Attachment Therapist. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, interactive and individualized. I work together with clients assisting them to reach personal fulfillment, healthy and rewarding relationships, and empowerment.

Insight opens the path to conquer obstacles, the way for cognitive behavioral changes, helps you achieve balance, reach your full potential and live a healthier life filled with joy and a sense of freedom.

Just as we learn spoken language as children, we learn an unspoken language of relationship. Just as the words we hear become the words we speak, the way we're treated becomes the basis for how we treat others, and how we expect to be treated by the people in our lives. We learn to define ourselves according to the terms by which we were defined, but most of us suspect that there's more to the story. There is.

Active Imagination and non-directive guided imagery can help you access inner wisdom and gain insight. While the thinking, rational mind is essential for everyday concerns and problem-solving, its usefulness is limited regarding questions of meaning, value, and depth. Active Imagination constructively channels the psyche's innate creative power. When we tap into the wellspring of the visionary imagination, we feel an enlivened sense of meaning, purpose, and connection.

The depth tradition holds that all healing begins with a call or a longing manifested through symptoms like depression, anxiety, discontent, pain, or illness. If we choose to accept the invitation of our symptoms and our pain, we may discover that they can be life's unique way of getting our attention ~ drawing us into a deeper engagement and collaboration with our authentic self. Symptoms invite us to consider what needs shifting, shedding, grieving, loving, embracing; what is true, meaningful, creative, and life affirming. I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your process of self discovery, growth and healing.

I have been a child therapist for the past 20 years, I provide therapy for children ages 0-18 years old. Modalities that I have found to be helpful when working with the younger population are the following; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate Family Therapy (Family Systems), where I support families in creating intimacy through none-judgmental communication. I assist parents through difficulties, and challenges of parenthood. I also work with adults/teens/children who are experiencing executive dysfunction symptoms or are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.

The capacity to heal and to love never cease to amaze me. We are miraculous and complex creatures and my aim is to create space for honoring that. For the past 17 years I have specialized in working with people struggling with eating disorders and co-morbid conditions such as depression, anxiety, identity issues, PTSD/trauma, OCD, and substance abuse. I also work with people who are exploring issues related to identity, transition, gender, sexuality, and the overall daily human experience, in order to support people in finding meaning, purpose, and connection.
