Through my own lived experience, I can deeply resonate with the realities my Millennial and Gen Z clients face. Dating, social media, politics, finances, and demands from school or work can be so daunting. My main priority as a therapist is to create a non-judgmental, engaging, and approachable environment where you feel empowered to navigate these challenges together. Just having one of those days where you need to vent about your mom, partner, or roommate? There’s plenty of space for that too.

Whether you're totally new to therapy and unsure of where to start, or you already have a solid understanding of your patterns, but still find yourself getting stuck in the same places, you may be ready for a different kind of work. My passion is helping people move beyond insight and into deeper healing through experiential, body-based approaches that create lasting change and self-reconnection. I believe meaningful therapy happens in the context of a genuine human relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be fully yourself: the messy, the vulnerable, the hopeful, the goofy, and everything in between.

If you are looking for deep trust with someone who has completed respect for your autonomy and is critical of systems of power, we may work well together.
I tend to work with those with complex or sustained trauma histories, as well as those with personality disorders and/or psychosis. Most of my clients are queer/trans and/or disabled/chronically ill, but I work with people of many backgrounds. I draw primarily from the psychoanalytic/psychodynamic tradition, but I work broadly. People with longer-term issues tend to benefit most, as work with me takes time.

My clients are thoughtful, accomplished adults who are ready to address what is no longer working. I support individuals navigating career change, divorce, parenthood, fertility, grief, and other identity shifts, as well as couples facing recurring conflict, emotional distance, or important decisions about their future. They come to therapy wanting more than insight alone. Together, we identify the patterns driving the problem, clarify what meaningful progress looks like, and create purposeful change—so they can make grounded decisions, communicate more effectively, and build lives and relationships that feel connected and aligned.

You may feel stuck between wanting change and not knowing how to let go of patterns that once felt necessary to cope. You may feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or exhausted by self-criticism, perfectionism, or the weight of life transitions. I support college students, teens, and young adults navigating eating disorders and self-harm, anxiety, ADHD/executive functioning challenges, and the process of understanding and embracing your neurodivergence. In therapy, we work to understand what these patterns have been protecting while taking steady, values-based steps toward feeling more grounded, connected, and at peace with yourself.

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.
