Drawing from evidence-based and holistic therapy practices, I support people of all ages, children, teens, families and adults, in handling stress, emotions, distressing thoughts, and limiting beliefs. As you move towards your values and goals through mind-body-based treatments, you will develop self-kindness, acceptance, inner strength, improved communication, boundaries, and empowerment along the way. Whether you are navigating challenging relationships, difficult life circumstances, life transitions, grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, suffering, or a desire to change your lifestyle or career, I will meet you where you are.

I know how difficult it can be to take this first step. As a clinician my goal is to give you the space to explore who you are, what is not serving you in your life, hold on to what is still serving you, and get to where you want to be through integrating new learning through the process. As a clinician I understand that navigating the many systems of our society brings numerous challenges for youth, adolescents, and families. I practice with a person centered approach grounded in intersectional feminism with a transformative and non-binary lens.

Individuals/Groups/Couples. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Life happens, so it helps to have someone who will really listen, without judgement. When we lay down our burdens, we can feel lighter, heal places that were hurt, and find a way back to ourselves. Therapy can be about coming to deeply know and understand ourselves; with help learning skills for managing life, emotions and relationships, claiming self-worth and a sense of competence. I support people with holistic, research based psychotherapy. ACT, IFS, ARC, DBT, Somatics, CBT and Jungian components. Ask me about group therapy.

I specialize in healing from deeply-rooted trauma and distressing life events. If you've been in therapy before and still struggle with problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors which interfere in day-to-day life, a more comprehensive approach may help. Research has shown that present day mental health challenges which originate from earlier life experiences often require intervention with the parts of our system which hold verbal and pre-verbal conditioning. Using both cognitive (brain-focused) AND somatic (body-focused) interventions ensures that all parts of our body are integrated into the healing process.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor who is committed to helping people create a life that is meaningful for them. My focus is on helping clients discover their authentic self and to replace unhelpful behaviors that no longer serve them. I work to help adults, couples, and families learn skills needed to improve communication, manage anxiety, overcome depression, and implement new ways of managing stress rather than turning to harmful coping strategies.

Everyone has their own path in life and their own meanings to make from their experiences. I see therapy as a place to uncover connections between past and present relationships, emotions and experiences and discover what is authentic and true for you. Together, we will explore your desires, existential questions, and patterns of relationships as a way to connect more deeply with yourself. For couples, we will work on communicating honestly and explore the defenses and dynamics that impact your ability to work together. For those who are interested in outdoor therapy, I offer walk and talk therapy on local trails.

For many of us, simply talking about our challenges is not enough. Our traumas live in our bodies. Muscle tension reveals how we have adapted around painful memories, emotions, and beliefs. Tension in the body has helped us cope, but now may limit our breath, relationships, and our full sense of aliveness. Rosen Method Bodywork is an integrative somatic modality that uses both touch and talk to grow awareness of how and what we are holding. As the unconscious becomes conscious, memories and emotions often arise for us to be with and support. I am now offering discounted Rosen Method Bodywork sessions as I work toward certification.

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.
