ABOUT

I have always been interested in facilitating others towards change. Originally as a Social Worker, working with challenging populations in Israel, and for more than a decade, combining these skills with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Guided Imagery training. With this in mind, I founded the Jerusalem NLP Academy, offering high-level training for individuals wishing to establish or enhance their therapeutic or coaching practice.

In my private practice, I work one-on-one with women, synthesizing Guided Imagery and NLP techniques, with my clinical social work background. This approach allows for goal-oriented therapy, with clients generally reaching their goal after 10 sessions.  Clients begin to see a difference almost immediately. The techniques used, help you to let go of emotional triggers, heal childhood hurts, and change limiting beliefs, for long-lasting change.

The focus in my work is on life-cycle events: helping mature singles achieve lasting relationships and helping women cope with fertility challenges, such as recurrent miscarriage and infertility.

If you are struggling to change habits, are longing for a long-term relationship, or are struggling with infertility, feel free to reach out and see the change in your life!

TREATMENT APPROACH

Guided ImageryGuided imagery is a form of visualization used for relaxation and healing. It uses the power of the imagination to create positive changes in a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is also used to reduce stress and anxiety, cope with physical and emotional pain, increase motivation, confidence, and self-esteem, and to improve focus and concentration. During a guided imagery session, the practitioner will guide the client through a series of visualizations, using words and descriptions to help them create mental images in their mind. These visualizations can take many forms, such as a comforting place from the past or the client’s future goals.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)NLP is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy that focuses on understanding how people think, communicate and interact. It was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970s. NLP looks at how people use language, their body language and other non-verbal communication to understand their inner experiences. It uses techniques such as modeling, reframing, and anchoring to help people change their behavior and beliefs. Its goal is to help people understand how they think and take control of their own behavior and thoughts. NLP is based on the belief that the way we think affects how we feel and how we act. It points out that each person operates within their own subjective reality rather than from a place of objectivity. Proponents of NLP believe everyone’s perception of the world is distorted, limited, and unique. A therapist who practices NLP explores how a person in treatment perceives their reality and the effect this perception may have on that person’s thoughts and behavior. The therapist can then help them find and strengthen the skills that serve them best and assist them in developing new ways to replace ones that have shown to be unproductive or harmful.
