You're smart and self-aware but tired of cycles you can’t seem to shift: overthinking, people-pleasing, procrastination, or stuck in 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 clearer, self-directed, and powerful, on your own terms, and to be easily understood, fast. You're not looking for vague validation or surface-level tools but depth and precision to translate insight into action and change.

As a therapist, I prioritize building a genuine therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and compassion. Our bodies hold trauma and stress accumulated over our lifetimes. My practice integrates EMDR, mind-body modalities, and talk therapy to help clients cope with current stress and heal from trauma. Our life experiences also lead us to develop unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. I empower my clients to recognize and adapt their harmful thoughts patterns, giving them the tools to thrive.

I aim to provide a presence in the therapeutic encounter for "attending to the soul" (the etymology of "psychotherapy"). As such, sessions with me are uniquely tailored to fit the needs of each individual. I subscribe to Jungian James Hollis's belief about the purpose of therapy in that it is a "sacred, demanding space designed to help individuals stop hiding behind social roles, listen to the deeper calls of the psyche, and take adult responsibility for their own lives." I approach this task non-judgmentally with empathy, humor, and creativity.

Your teen came home from residential treatment and you thought the hard part was over. Or you've tried everything for your ADHD or neurodivergent teen and you're still walking on eggshells in your own home. You're not failing. You're stuck in a pattern that doesn't respond to more effort. I specialize in post-residential transition, neurodivergent and ADHD teens, and chronic defiance that has outlasted every approach you've tried. Using my H.O.M.E. methodology, I give you exactly what to say, how to respond, and boundaries that actually hold. Most families feel a real shift within weeks, not years.

You are creative and successful in your career. You've worked hard to achieve; you use your training to help others. You've explored self-help and spiritual programs. Yet it feels like something is missing. You wake in the morning with a feeling of anxiety or dread. In your relationships, you react emotionally rather than respond consciously. Although people enjoy your company, you feel lonely and unhappy. You suspect that the old survival skills you learned to survive a painful childhood are no longer useful. You yearn to change and grow, to live with a calm mind and vitality, and to reclaim the joy that is your birthright.

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.
