There are many benefits to therapy whether you are looking to process your day to day stressors or identifying patterns and ways of thinking that have been keeping you from moving forward. I work with adults that are experiencing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Trauma. I am also experienced with working with a broad range of presenting problems such as co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, self-harm, stress management, life transitions and setting boundaries. My experiences include working with children, teens, and adult clients.

Hablo español. דוברת עברית. Je parles Français. Healing can be a difficult journey, and if you are looking to work on trauma/ PTSD, grief or addiction, I am here to help. I work with clients to tailor therapy that works for them, affirming lifestyle values and utilizing various modalities to assist in the healing process (CBT, DBT, strength based and solution based therapy). Your past helped shape you, but it does not have to determine who you are or will be in the future. This is a marathon, not a sprint- let's do it together.

Life is a series of challenges. Society reinforces quick fixes to be happy. I am realistic and believe that living the kind of life you desire is not about avoiding distress and challenges. It is about learning skills and having the right tools to function while feeling distress and facing those challenges. True growth occurs in the face of discomfort, so therapy is not always easy. I provide a safe space while you go through those times of discomfort. It is the willingness to tolerate that discomfort and when real transformation and empowerment occurs.
