I am an Olah Chadasha from the USA (Baltimore, MD) and I am a licensed counselor in the state of Maryland (LCPC).
I have specialized training in working with folks struggling with eating disorders. I received eating disorder training in inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient settings. I have been working in private practice for 3 years.
My approach to therapy uses a mix of empirically supported treatments (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and client-centered therapy. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic alliance by getting to know my clients as humans and identifying their unique goals for therapy. I believe that the relationship between the client and the therapist is one of the most important predictors of positive changes in therapy. We will work together to outline a treatment plan that focuses on your needs and meets you where you are in the process of recovery.
In addition to eating disorders, I enjoy working with individuals struggling with mood concerns, anxiety, and general life adjustment. I also have training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for those struggling in the aftermath of trauma. As a new olah, I am familiar with the experience of moving to a new country and the variety of emotions folks experience during this time of change.
If you are looking for a therapist, you're acknowledging that you're struggling in some way and would like support. Choosing to seek out that support is a sign of strength and resilience.
If you are interested in learning more about me and my practice, feel free to email me. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations for prospective clients.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment and to use them as tools to help them to make changes in their lives that are consistent with their values. It is based on the idea that by changing the way we think about our inner experiences, we can reduce emotional distress and increase our sense of well-being.
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.
Cognitive Processing TherapyCognitive Processing Therapy is used to treat trauma and PTSD. During therapy, clients identify and understand their beliefs about their responses to their trauma. Inspecting their beliefs often leads clients to understand their emotions and thoughts in relation to the trauma. When the client is ready, practitioners give them tools to challenge their thoughts of the trauma as well as provide homework to solidify what they learned in sessions. In the later stages of therapy, practitioners teach clients how belief systems (about safety, self-esteem, trust, intimate relationships, control, and power) can change after trauma.
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.
