Licensed Abroad
Canadian born, over 30 years in the field, I believe everyone has the wisdom within. It’s important to me to provide a warm and accepting environment that will allow us to work together to assist you in reconnecting to your inner guiding voice. I have learned through guiding individuals on their own path, as well as from my own life experience that although at times we are challenged by difficulties, these junctions can be a valuable opportunity for growth. Though people may feel reluctant to reach out for help, I believe that taking this step forward is a wise choice that will allow you to explore and discover your innate strengths and acquire better coping skills, enabling you to make more effective decisions from a place of self-awareness.
I worked for the Ministry of Education for 30 years, specializing in teenagers coping with a variety of issues, including, learning disabilities, ADHD, social and family relationships, sexual abuse and other trauma. In addition, I provide parent counselling. In my private practice, I treat individuals ages 9-90 specializing in teenagers and adults coping with various life issues, including social, functional, relationships, trauma, grief, fertility, mid-life challenges, oncology patients and chronic illness. I also conduct group therapy for adults as well as personal growth workshops for the general public. My treatment approach is multidisciplinary. While it is founded on art therapy and classic psychotherapy, my methods include art expression, verbal discussion, writing, EFT, breathing techniques and guided imagery, which I adapt according to the needs of the individual.

Art TherapyArt therapy has clients express themselves through creative mediums such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting. Clients can interpret their subconscious world that is expressed in their art which could lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior. Artistic talent is not a prerequisite for art therapy as it’s not as much about the end result as much as it is about the process. The therapist looks for meaning in the creative choices of the work and the clients’ inner world. This therapeutic method enables clients to express their inner thoughts and feelings through creative expression rather than just talking about them.

Therapist's Experience with Gap Year Students
Gap year is a great growth opportunity. Nonetheless, adjusting to a new social environment and being far from home can be challenging. I specialize in assisting young adults in developing their inner strength and coping skills so that you can maximize your joy and satisfaction from your year in Israel.
