Do you sometimes feel like you have no one to talk to, or no one who understands you? Do you feel there's deeper emotional stuff going on inside that might be causing you physical or emotional pain? Or perhaps you're dealing with difficulties with children or other family members ... or with habits or emotions that may seem beyond your control ... or simply with moving your life in a more positive direction? If you're the kind of person who wants to understand themselves and others better, and is looking for an accepting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which you can be open and honest — then keep reading!
I was a rabbi and teacher for many years and have a passion for helping individuals and families. I am a lifelong student of emotions, beliefs, and personalities and have received training in many different ways of helping people gain insights and make changes in their inner and outer worlds, in ways that are gentle and challenging at the same time.
Clients who work with me can expect sensitivity, understanding, empathy, validation, and support — along with a sense of humor :) — and a sense of connection with a therapist who cares.
