ABOUT

Therapy can be a scary and challenging process. One of the reasons for that is that it comes in many shapes and sizes. To me, the goal of therapy is to remove or reduce the hurdles and challenges that get in the way of living productive and happy lives. Here’s how I can help: My goal is firstly to establish a productive relationship with my patients where they feel safe and cared for. In establishing this partnership, we work together to identify the challenges that get in the way of daily life, establish concrete goals for what life should ideally look like without those hurdles and develop and implement a path towards achieving those goals. For nearly a decade, I have worked with adolescent and adult patients in school and clinical settings where we have followed this model in treating Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Depression, Trauma, Eating Disorders, Low Self-Esteem, cognitive and learning deficits among other disruptive problems many people struggle with. I have worked with individuals and couples struggling through problems with establishing and maintaining healthy and productive relationships. In all these areas I try to emphasize a results-based approach that is grounded in the best practices of Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) Therapy and Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). My years of clinical work in the USA and Israel have shown me that there is great potential for growth and healing when a person struggling is able to work with an empathetic and caring therapist to incorporate the best solutions that scientific research has to offer. I know as well as I anyone that many people face extremely difficult challenges in their lives. You are invited to contact me directly to begin a dialogue about how I can potentially help.
