Do you often second-guess yourself? Find it hard to say “no” to others? Are you navigating a major life transition—like divorce, relocation, or immigration—and feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you’ve noticed yourself becoming more irritable, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle that’s hard to break. Whether you're managing a diagnosed condition or simply need a space to clear your head, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. With the right tools and a supportive environment, anyone can move toward clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I bring authenticity, compassion, and a touch of humor to every session

I am passionate about working with clients experiencing or healing from Narcissistic Abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, high conflict divorce, coparenting, self esteem, and grief. I focus on helping clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse in relationships, marriage, by parents, coworkers and adult children. Therapy can feel daunting but also offers hope when you are ready to go through the healing journey. I collaborate with my clients to explore strategies to alleviate emotional pain, remove distressing symptoms, set boundaries, improve self esteem and foster self-awareness. Validation is essential.

Have you tried talk therapy and were told that you “Know yourself so well and are so insightful!” but left without feeling like you made real, lasting change? Have you been told you’re basically psychic but still can’t manage to feel good in your body, and no amount of trendy workout or self help program (and you’ve probably done many) will dim the harsh voice in your head? If so; I’m definitely your girl! Feel guilty setting boundaries? Go through too much wine? If you LOOK like you have it all together but FEEL like you’re falling apart, than it’s time to try something different. Let’s do a vibe check and see how I can help!

You look capable on the outside but inside relationships feel harder than they should. You overthink texts, brace for conflict, or shut down when things get tense. You want closeness, yet somehow end up in the same painful cycle—pursuing, withdrawing, criticizing, or going quiet. You long to feel secure, chosen, and steady in love instead of constantly scanning for disconnection.

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.
