Get in TouchAbout Me
I am a counselor (MSW, Israeli licensed), integrating multiple evidence-based approaches: Emotion Focused Therapy (Les Greenberg), EFCT for couples (Sue Johnson), AEDP, Schema Therapy, ACT, and EMDR. I am dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where healing and growth can unfold naturally.
My work centers on radical acceptance, compassion and change-oriented work — helping you navigate critical or anxiety-provoking inner parts while honoring who you are and the hard work you've invested to get where you are today. Through Schema Therapy parts work, we explore and transform deep-rooted patterns with care and respect for your journey and accomplishments. You are welcomed the way you are, needing change doesn't mean you are bad/wrong, means with need to do adaptation, like a program update.
With specialized training in trauma-informed care and neurodivergent-affirming approaches — particularly for ADHD — I work with individuals and couples to navigate life's challenges, heal from past wounds, and build meaningful connections.
I offer Online sessions, making quality care accessible to clients worldwide.
