I've been a therapist for over 15 years, working with adults, caregivers, youth and children. The themes I work with include relational difficulties, family conflict, parenting, life transitions, loss, trauma, immigration, sexual orientation, gender identity, anxiety and depression. I believe culture, gender, race and other identities play a role in our lives, as do safety, connection and trust. I aim to honour and create space for these qualities and my style is collaborative and conversational. I believe in lived experiences and bring mine, being a queer immigrant parent, to practice. I also offer therapy in English and Hebrew.
I started my career as an expressive arts therapist and soon became a social worker. My apporach is integrative and includes: psychodynamic, internal family systems, solution focused, narrative and dialectical behaviour therapies, as well as emotion focused skills training and collaborative problem solving; all within trauma and attachment informed practice.
You might seek therapy after some time of hardship, and making this step can feel vulnerable. I'll meet you and your loved ones where you're at, encourage you to tap into your strengths and reach your goals. You're welcome to contact me for a free consultation (phone/virtual) to figure out if working together feels like a good fit. I'm looking forward to it.
