You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. If you’re exhausted from always being the strong one-pushing through, holding it together, and barely making it through the day-you’re not alone. The weight of trauma and anxiety has only grown heavier and it’s understandable if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Healing doesn’t have to be a solo journey. I’m a trauma therapist, and I offer a space where you can finally exhale—where your shoulders can relax, and you can find moments of peace amid the chaos. Together, we can explore new ways to care for yourself, strengthen your relationships, and build the support you deserve.

Our group is a collaboration of Israeli therapists who provide services in Hebrew to sexual abuse and trauma clients of all ages. Having the ability to express themselves with therapists in their first language gives our clients immediate feelings of comfort, trust and safety. We also help families with problems arising from the process of relocation and immigration.
I specialize in treating survivors of trauma and sexual abuse, as well as people undergoing transition, especially immigration and relocation, divorce, marriage, and childbirth.
Hebrew speakers would benefit from therapy in their language. I am familiar with the Israeli culture and the difficulty of being an immigrant. I relate to the common feelings of isolation and loneliness caused by relocation. I have designed a creative and helpful 10 steps kit to ease this transition.

You’re ready to reconnect with your purpose, improve your relationships, and show up fully—for yourself and those who count on you. Therapy isn’t weakness—it’s the most honest kind of strength.

Sexual Abuse Support Groups
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
