More than 25 Years of Experience
Therapy for Individuals, Couples and Families
Therapy for Individuals, Couples and Families
I have a Masters degree in social work and I received a clinical license from the State of California to practice psychotherapy.
I am a certified marriage and family therapist and supervisor in Israel and I completed post-Masters training at the Family Institute of Neve Yerushalayim; the Hebrew University’s Machon Magid School of Psychotherapy; and Machon Shiluv.
Each individual, couple and family has its own unique way of looking at the world and its own special way of coping with life’s challenges. When our customary ways of approaching these challenges no longer work for us, therapy can help fuel our creativity and can help us discover new possibilities for how to go about living our lives. These possibilities expand our understanding of our current difficulties; explore how the present is connected to the past; and allow us to tell different stories about ourselves and about the significant people in our lives.
With more than 25 years of clinical experience in both California and Israel, I have been privileged to assist at-risk children and adolescents, adults of all ages, couples and families learn to navigate their lives in new directions.
As a certified couples and family therapist, I have extensive experience:
My areas of specialty include:
I maintain a private practice in both Jerusalem and Efrat and I provide therapy in both English and Hebrew. I also provide therapy on Zoom.
For an appointment, please call 052.856.7977.
