ABOUT
I am a therapist with nearly 25 years of experience. I specialize in seeing couples, individuals and families including those with employment issues. I work to empower my clients, and show them that they have more choices and opportunities than they may realize and to work out what would make them happier. My office has a warm, non-judgmental atmosphere.
I work very much in the present, while taking into account the family background of my clients and how that is influencing their present day choices and behaviour and when appropriate I teach practical skills, for example how to listen, or how to argue effectively, instead of viciously, and how to hold a discussion. I often give clients skills to practice at home.
My client base is divided into 5 main areas, often with some overlap. Couples- I see all couples and specialize in couples where one or both has issues with adult ADD or ADHD and it's influence on the relationship.
I am also a sexual adviser and will work with couples on intimacy issues, I also work with the couple to see how far the internet , particularly their smartphones are impeding their intimacy and happiness Families and Parental Advice- I may well see the family at home depending on the age of the children.
Here we will work on better functioning, appropriate boundaries and greater happiness for all members. Individuals- As with all clients we work together to see what is preventing them reaching their goals and dreams, and then work out ways to get there Employment Counseling- my clients are frequently, but not only olim, who are experiencing difficulties integrating into the Israeli job culture.
We examine their aims and I give practical skills including CV writing and interview practice.
Abused Women- I have a lot of experience in working with women who are physically and emotionally abused. We work on empowerment and practical options, as well as greater understanding of her individual case.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Emotion-Focused TherapyEmotion-focused therapy (EFT) is a type of psychotherapy that is based on the idea that emotions play a key role in a person’s mental health. EFT focuses on helping people to identify, accept, and manage their emotions in a healthy and productive way. The goal of EFT is to help people identify and express their emotions, understand how those emotions impact their behavior, and learn how to manage their emotions in a way that is adaptive and healthy. EFT is a research-based approach to psychotherapy that has been found to be effective in helping people manage a variety of mental health conditions. It has been used successfully in the treatment of individuals, couples, and families, as well as with groups. EFT is particularly beneficial for people who struggle with emotional regulation, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
Gottman MethodThe Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that is designed to help couples strengthen their relationships and resolve conflicts. This method is based upon decades of research on thousands of couples and utilizes an approach that is both structured and collaborative. The method is designed to help couples increase respect, affection, and closeness, break through and resolve conflict, generate greater understanding, and to keep conflict discussions calm. It emphasizes the importance of self-regulation, constructive communication, and creating a safe environment for couples to talk and work through their issues. During sessions, couples work on skills such as active listening and expressing needs and feelings effectively. Couples are also given tools to identify and work through conflicts by using problem-solving techniques and developing strategies to manage emotions and reduce stress.
Systems Theory / TherapySystems therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on understanding how people's behavior is affected by their relationships with others. This form of therapy is based on the idea that the individual is embedded within a larger system, such as a family unit or work environment, and that changes to that system can cause changes in an individual's behavior. Systems therapy emphasizes the importance of understanding how these systems interact and how they can be changed to improve the individual's mental health. The therapist works to identify patterns of behavior in the system, identify areas of conflict or stress, and help the individuals develop strategies to make changes within the system that will lead to healthier outcomes.
