Welcome! I’m OB, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor supporting teens, adults, and the LGBTQIA+ community through life’s challenges. I understand what it feels like to be both too much and not enough. I became a therapist so no one has to feel the weight of life’s hardest moments alone, as I once did. Together, we’ll work to heal past wounds, navigate obstacles, and help you move forward feeling lighter, freer, and more engaged in your personal journey. I specialize in depression and trauma and use EMDR, Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy to guide growth and resilience.

Welcome to Tikvah Counseling. Tikvah means hope. In today's world hope can be hard to hold onto. Things are changing so fast and sometimes we don't know where to turn or who to trust. It feels like the ground is not solid underneath our feet. We may have lost hope long ago if our needs were not met or if we were hurt by family. Feeling safe and protected is fundamental to feeling ok. The pain of abandonment, betrayal and invisibility from narcissistic or abusive parents stays inside us for a lifetime. In this dark place it's hard to believe things can get better. That joy and purpose can come into our lives.

My ideal clients are adults and couples who want therapy to be a collaborative, reflective process rather than a quick fix. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and meaningful change. I often work with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, parenting stress, and the impact of caregiving or high-stress roles. Clients who benefit most are open to mindfulness, values-based exploration, and gentle challenge. I am especially well-suited to LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples.

Life is hard and suffering is normal. It’s an inevitable part of being human. Most of us, often from a young age, develop different patterns or defenses to manage our suffering in order to keep our heads above water. This can look like many different things: numbing our emotions, self-criticism, addiction, anxiety, self-sabotage - the list goes on. We do these things not because anything is inherently wrong with us, but because for a long time, these patterns help us survive. Clients often come to me when they reconcile the fact that these patterns are no longer working - and instead, they’re making them miserable.

You’ve built a life that looks good from the outside—but lately, it’s not feeling right on the inside. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed. You might be questioning your relationship, your career path, or just how much longer you can keep showing up like everything’s fine. I work with individuals and couples who are managing the emotional strain of high-pressure lives. Many of my clients are navigating burnout, perfectionism, or big life transitions—like ending a relationship, becoming a parent, or reckoning with a painful past.

Ever since I was a nursing student, I’ve been captivated by the power of genuine connection in mental health care. Over the past 15 years, I’ve immersed myself in everything from critical care to research on disorders like schizophrenia and depression—all to better serve each person I meet. By truly listening, I tailor treatment to the individual rather than just the diagnosis. My style is both empathetic and straightforward, so you know exactly what to expect as we work together. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and hopeful about your next steps.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help facilitate and support you, the client, in discovering, processing, and most importantly, deciding if changing some strategies you have needed to implement in negotiating your life is a next step in your treatment. It can take time to identify influencing factors in the problems experienced in life. Through the development of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will identify issues, if not already clear to you, and take action in the therapeutic relationship itself to develop the relational, emotional, and or behavioral skills you determine need to be the focus of your treatment.

Over the course of my career, I have worked with various populations of adolescent, teen, and adult clients in the mental health field. I can honestly say that I love what I do and always find a unique way to connect with each client. I believe it is important to approach each individual I meet with an intersectional and unbiased lens and to construct a treatment plan and therapy approach that is aligned with not just their specific mental health needs, but their personality, sense of humor, and values.

From our very first contact, I think you will find that I'm easy to talk to. I pride myself on being a good listener, and I believe you will experience me as warm, genuine, and supportive. I'm not one of those quiet therapists; I openly and honestly share my thoughts, questions, and perceptions. You will also find me to be (gently) challenging when you need and want to be challenged. I take your confidentiality and privacy very seriously. And, while much of what we discuss will be serious, I do have a sense of humor that I don't leave at the door.

NOW Accepting New Clients! It’s not surprising you’re feeling lost, confused, anxious, or depressed thinking about adulthood. Our brains continue to develop well into our mid-20s, yet society expects us to have things figured out by then. In today’s world, people wait much longer to meet the traditional milestones of the generations before us, and then are just expected to know how to navigate everything in the meantime. This is where I come in. I can help you find your way through. And I can do that without any expectations or preconceived notions. No judgment. Just support and encouragement.

Let me help you make some big shifts in your life! Most of the reason why we sabotage or ruin our progress is because our unconscious self is driving our behaviors. I can help you to bring those unconscious beliefs into your awareness so you can change your behaviors that don't serve you anymore. As a body-centered therapist (LPC and LMT), I help people who may be stuck in their healing process and are in need of deep and active work.

I specialize in working with male bodies, creatives, artists, dancers, neurodiverse people, couples, and members of the Jewish community who struggle with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, life changes, and unwanted patterns.
I use body-based approaches that connect mind and body through breath, movement, and sensation. Supportive touch can be included to help with grounding and deeper processing. I also use EMDR, Brainspotting, expressive arts, sandtray, and parts work (IFS) —but I only use what feels right for you, and I’ll guide you if you’re not sure what these methods are.

Working closely with individuals and couples is my passion.

I believe in the importance of integrative health, and offer therapy online as well as in person in Northwest Hills (Austin). I also offer walk and talk therapy to clients as appropriate.

I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!

Do you "have it all together" on the outside, but on the inside, feel like you are falling apart? Perhaps you find yourself looking ahead to the next milestone or achievement–graduating college, landing a high-paying job, getting married–thinking it will bring you happiness…only to be let down when you get there and it still feels like something is missing. You are not alone. I specialize in working with driven, highly-motivated emerging adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

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.
