Without even meeting you, I know you are capable, smart, and unique. But life may have thrown you challenges that make you doubt yourself. We are taught: "Bishvili Nivra Haolam." Bishvili can be read in two ways: For Me -or- On My Path. The Baal Shem Tov teaches: My path is unique to me. The challenges I face, the tools I was given, all create my path, my shvil. I alone am biShvili, on my path. And there, on my path, I have all the tools I need. My goal is to help you uncover the innate tools you have so you can overcome your challenges and live a life of meaning and joy. Hashem has great faith in you, and so do I.

Struggling with pornography, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior? Caught in the aftermath of infidelity — whether you're the one who strayed or the one who was betrayed? Carrying the weight of sexual trauma or secret behaviors you can't stop? You might be a person of faith, a community leader, or simply someone whose values and actions have stopped matching up. The shame is real. So is the exhaustion of carrying something this heavy, alone. Many arrive here tangled in relapse, codependency, and the weight of a double life. You're not here by accident. That matters.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. Some are dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, or repeating emotional cycles that leave them feeling alone even when surrounded by people. Others are trying to communicate better, rebuild trust, or simply understand themselves on a deeper level. My clients usually want clarity, relief, and a place where they can finally slow down and feel understood, not judged.

You might have a good understanding of yourself, but still feel caught in patterns that don’t seem to change. It can be frustrating to understand something intellectually and still feel stuck in it emotionally.
I work with adults navigating life transitions, mood challenges, and the impact of earlier experiences. Many of the people I see are thoughtful and self-aware, and still find themselves repeating patterns.
My approach is grounded in a psychodynamic and attachment-based perspective. Together, we look at the present and these patterns—how they developed, what they may be protecting, and why they can be hard to shift.

My clients are often couples caught in painful cycles. They find themselves fighting often, feeling distant, or unsure if they can find their way back to one another. Others may be individuals weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or the ache of disconnection in their closest relationships. At their core, they long for emotional safety, stronger bonds, and the sense of being seen and valued. Their goal isn’t just to “stop the conflict”, it’s to rediscover closeness, to feel understood, and to know they can turn toward each other and even toward themselves, with trust and compassion.

In order to improve our lives, we need to improve our perspectives.

It is courageous to want to confront our current mode of thinking, and as a therapist, I am genuinely excited to provide a safe and welcoming environment to help guide those choosing to do so.

My approach is warm, empathic, intuitive and holistic, healing on mind, body and soul level. I believe anxiety is often the mind and body’s way of trying to protect us, especially when past experiences, trauma or chronic stress have left the nervous system feeling unsafe.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
