I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with adults, adolescents, and couples. I take an active and empathetic approach to psychotherapy by establishing mutually agreed upon therapeutic goals with my clients and providing a comfortable space to explore, discuss, and be heard.

My therapy style is rooted in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavioral (DBT) therapies (see 'Services' tab for details), which I utilize to best meet the needs of my clients. With these approaches, I empower my clients to identify and achieve their goals by drawing on their unique individual strengths and minimizing their fear and anxiety. Further, they are able to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact their functioning and relationships with others.

Ultimately, my focus is on increasing my clients' self-awareness and on helping them to reduce anxiety and to tap into their natural abilities to navigate obstacles. Through this process they can make deep and lasting changes in order to achieve what they want in life. Moreover, I enable my clients to develop tools to help them handle life’s difficulties and events that may come their way in the future.

I am fluent in Hebrew and also practice bilingual therapy.
