ABOUT

 The Corona crisis has made a major impact on all of us.  Committed to meeting clients' needs as they define them, I continue to offer the option of online therapy.   This removes geographic limitations and enables flexible scheduling. Reduced rates are available to those who have lost income.

Some of the common issues that I work with:

  • Improving relationships
  • ADHD -understanding and meeting challenges
  • Plans for children and their adjustment in divorcing families and Parental Alienation Syndrome
  • Issues around LGBTQ families on all levels (young adults, parents, families)

I am bilingual and often counsel couples in both English and Hebrew.

A Columbia University graduate, I made aliya in 1982. I have been working since then with children and families, both in the public and private sectors. I assist individuals, couples and families in their quest for well-being.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Family Systems TherapyFamily Systems Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of understanding how the family functions as a whole, and how individual family members interact and affect one another. It focuses on how family dynamics, such as communication patterns, roles, and power dynamics, shape behavior, and how changing these dynamics can lead to positive change. Family Systems Therapy is a collaborative approach, where the therapist works with the family as a whole to identify and address areas of conflict and distress.

Narrative TherapyNarrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the stories, or narratives, of a person's life in order to help them gain insights into their situation and develop skills to make positive changes. It is based on the idea that people construct their own stories and meanings to make sense of their lives and experiences. It emphasizes the strengths, values, and skills of the person, while also exploring the influences of culture and context on their life. Narrative therapy seeks to empower individuals by helping them to identify and use their inner resources to overcome challenges and create positive change.

Relational PsychotherapyRelational psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on a person’s relationships with others and the dynamics between them. It emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist, and it explores the meaning and purpose of relationships in the client’s life. Relational psychotherapy seeks to understand how the client’s past relationships shape their current experiences and how the client interacts with others. The goal is to help the person develop healthier relationships and better communication skills so they can become more emotionally connected to others.
