About
I am an experienced psychologist, educated in both Israel and the United States. I believe that people are unique and that that uniqueness is both a source of strength and a cause of difficulty. In my work, I try to understand the unique aspects of my clients and utilize that uniqueness to help them grow and find the right balance between their emotional and rational self.
My practice consists of individual psychotherapy for adults and seniors, specializing in health issues, aging, disability, anxiety, depression, mourning issues, sleep disorders, pain management, retirement issues, and other interpersonal difficulties.
I am on staff of St. Margaret-Mercy Hospital, St. Catherine Hospital, Munster Community Hospital, Kindred Hospital, and Regency Northwest Hospital. I also taught behavior medicine for eighteen years to family physicians. I have traveled extensively and have international experience.
