ABOUT
I am a psychologist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of Anxiety Disorders in children, adolescents, and adults. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach as well as other treatment modalities where indicated. I have published articles in leading peer-reviewed journals. I grew up in Toronto, Canada and completed a B.A. in psychology at McGill University in Montreal.

On returning to Israel in 2009, I worked in the school system for 9 years and became a licensed School Psychologist. I currently maintain a private practice in Jerusalem and Gush Etzion.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on how one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and can be changed. It is based on the idea that how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion) can influence how we behave. CBT helps people identify and challenge distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced thinking, leading to improved mood and behavior. ‘Homework’, usually containing practical writing exercises, is often completed by the client between sessions to reinforce the therapy. Examples of tools that practitioners often use are journaling, challenging beliefs, and mindfulness.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy developed by Marsha Linehan to help people learn to better manage and cope with emotions and stress. It focuses on developing skills and strategies to help regulate emotions, improve relationships and communication, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. Through DBT, people learn to identify and modify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, while also learning to accept and validate their own feelings. DBT teaches skills to help individuals become aware of and accept and regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve interpersonal relationships.
