Accepting new clients! I provide affirming and trauma-informed care which conceptualizes individual mental health within a sociopolitical and cultural context. This is particularly important to understanding the experiences of individuals within invalidating and discriminatory environments. The impacts of minority-based stress and trauma cannot be addressed merely through changing your thinking. My aim is to help you develop coping skills, insight, and resiliency to thrive in our challenging world. As a queer therapist, I aspire to offer a safe space for LGBTQIA+ identity exploration. I specialize in PTSD and gender dysphoria.

I can help you learn to set boundaries, develop coping skills and strategies that will allow you to achieve your goals. My approach is client centered and I work to help you see your strengths, and use the skills you have to empower yourself.

I am a Jewish-American which has made me aware of the value of equality.
An open mind is fertile ground for self-exploration. If you’re considering a healing journey, I know it takes tremendous courage and I applaud you for it. Sitting alone with hidden areas in ourselves can be painful. You may try to push these feelings down or hide them, but they will re-emerge and wreak havoc. Whether you feel grief, anger, anxiety, despair or other issues, you don’t have to face them alone. I will help you honor memories, tell your story and find ways to soothe your pain. I will help you gain new insights and find freedom where you feel trapped. I am direct and honest while using a safety net of care and compassion.

When a particular area of life is less rewarding or is problematic, you may seek assistance rediscovering your path to mental health. Understanding that therapy is more likely to be helpful when you feel comfortable with your therapist, and hopeful about the therapy, my approach emphasizes accessing each person’s unique strengths and resources in order to facilitate growth, new learning, and fulfillment. I use a person-centered integrative approach drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and somatic theories to work collaboratively with you toward mutually agreed-upon goals.

Accepting new clients! I believe therapy should be like taking a journey with an expert archaeologist of the mind and self - and that expert would be Me. Together we use curiosity to understand the places you've been, which allows you to travel toward a clarified destination. Along this journey, you begin to understand why you may be stuck in negative patterns of thinking and behavior and how to remove barriers to shifting toward a more positive mindset and overall higher functioning. The journey's final destination is an evolved version of yourself.

Jewish Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same background to be able to work together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of cultural forces, such as discrimination, that may contribute to that client’s concerns. With a professional who has such training, a client should feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues without feeling that they need to self-censor.
How can I recognize an effective Jewish therapist?
As with members of any religious or ethnic group, just because two people happen to be Jewish does not guarantee that they will share the same values, knowledge, or experiences. A Jewish client seeking a therapist who shares their cultural identity, or for whom it’s important that a therapist share their religious beliefs, may want to discuss a professional’s Jewish background with them before beginning therapy. For someone who seeks justification for major life changes in their religious tradition, or in biblical writings, finding a therapist who is comfortable framing guidance in that context may be especially valuable.
Would a Jewish therapist have unique training?
No, but they should have the same training and certification as any other mental health professional, as well as experience with a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. A therapist with this type of experience should be able to help any client feel comfortable and safe, which is essential for a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established, a potential client may want to find out more about the therapist’s Jewish background.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Jewish clients?
A client can directly ask a therapist if they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and if so, whether these individuals sought counseling for faith-related issues or marital or familial issues in which their Jewish background was a factor. A client may also wish to ask a potential therapist whether they incorporate Jewish teachings and values into their own professional work.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Jewish therapists?
The directory of Jewish therapists includes professionals who have opted to share their cultural background on their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their background, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and/or communities.
