You're smart and self-aware but tired of cycles you can’t seem to shift: overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, or a constant state of fight/flight/freeze. You may secretly view yourself as “the problem,” stuck in a story where you’re the villain or the failure. Maybe you’re navigating trauma, ADHD, anxiety, or identity pain in a world that hasn’t made space for your complexity. You want to feel more clear, self-directed, and powerful, on your own terms, and for someone who gets it, quickly. You're not looking for vague validation or surface-level tools but depth and precision to translate insight into forward motion.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

Stress, anxiety, and unhealed trauma impacts our relationships, our jobs, our families, and even how we feel about ourselves. Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can impact our brains along with our nervous system. When this happens, we can feel as if we are stuck in our relationships & jobs or even trapped in our own lives. Fear & anxiety does not have to control your everyday thoughts and cultivating joy is possible! Choosing to get help is the first step towards healing yourself. I also offer clinical supervision for associate level therapists looking to gain hours towards their license at $125 per hour.

Hi. Come talk about what matters to you most. Together, we walk. Explore. Meander. Clarify. I love what I do and will help you feel better. I’m a date coach, work with multicultural issues, or if you're struggling with addiction, overcoming trauma, relationships, questions about polyamory, depression or abuse. If life has lost its meaning and you’re missing adventure, intimacy, greater self-expression and passion, let’s go. If you don’t talk about it, it won’t get better. I’m supportive, alternative, warm and kind. You’ll feel comfortable, and challenge thoughts and perceptions preventing you from getting out of your own way.

Great to meet you! I specialize in working with individual adults in both Florida and California State. Prior to becoming a therapist, I dedicated 20 years to working in community health centers, hospitals, adult day care facilities, and a crisis support center and text line in California. This wide array of experience gave me the opportunity to identify those suffering from depression, anxiety, life transitions, loss, self-worth issues, relationship problems, and other life stressors. I continue to be honored and humbled with clients allowing me to enter their worlds.

I offer a supportive approach rooted in psychodynamic and mindfulness-based models with a focus on trauma, anxiety and depression. Together we'll work towards the goal of building emotional well-being, and rooting out unhealthy internalized beliefs, and transform behavior patterns that no longer serve you into ones that offer support and self-esteem. Trauma needs to be witnessed and tolerated in a safe environment for you to learn that you already have the skills and knowledge within for transformative healing and self-discovery. Join me on this path of growth and resilience.

Jewish Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same background to be able to work together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of cultural forces, such as discrimination, that may contribute to that client’s concerns. With a professional who has such training, a client should feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues without feeling that they need to self-censor.

How can I recognize an effective Jewish therapist?

As with members of any religious or ethnic group, just because two people happen to be Jewish does not guarantee that they will share the same values, knowledge, or experiences. A Jewish client seeking a therapist who shares their cultural identity, or for whom it’s important that a therapist share their religious beliefs, may want to discuss a professional’s Jewish background with them before beginning therapy. For someone who seeks justification for major life changes in their religious tradition, or in biblical writings, finding a therapist who is comfortable framing guidance in that context may be especially valuable.

Would a Jewish therapist have unique training?

No, but they should have the same training and certification as any other mental health professional, as well as experience with a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. A therapist with this type of experience should be able to help any client feel comfortable and safe, which is essential for a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established, a potential client may want to find out more about the therapist’s Jewish background.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Jewish clients?

A client can directly ask a therapist if they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and if so, whether these individuals sought counseling for faith-related issues or marital or familial issues in which their Jewish background was a factor. A client may also wish to ask a potential therapist whether they incorporate Jewish teachings and values into their own professional work.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Jewish therapists?

The directory of Jewish therapists includes professionals who have opted to share their cultural background on their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their background, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and/or communities.
