ABOUT
Acknowledging the impact of traumatic events on our lives is an important first step towards healing. Naturally, these challenging and painful experiences can weigh heavily on our minds, affecting our health and ability to move forward. By providing a respectful listening presence and Somatic Experiencing, I will endeavor to support your journey towards wholeness, greater resilience and a strengthened ability to face life's challenges.
As a dancer and Expressive Arts Therapist, my training has made me acutely aware of the interconnectedness of emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. My experiences have led me to an understanding that we are created with an inborn capacity for healing. Through embodiment practices and mindfulness tools we can access your inner resources and facilitate a deeper connection between body and mind.
Additionally, I offer dance/movement therapy for individuals and groups, drawing on dance as a healing art. My clinical experience includes working with children, parents and elderly. I have worked in "Sal Shikum" (Ministry of Health) and facilitated movement therapy groups in Be'er Yaakov, a psychiatric hospital, and a centre for women dealing with cancer.
You are welcome to contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation. During this conversation, we can discuss your concerns and how my therapeutic approach aligns with your needs. It's an opportunity for us to connect and see if working together would be a good fit.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Body-Mind PsychotherapyBody-mind psychotherapy is an integrative approach to psychological treatment that draws from both psychotherapeutic and somatic/body-based approaches. It emphasizes the interconnection between physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of being. This approach seeks to help individuals explore how physical sensations, emotions, thoughts and beliefs influence their behavior and well-being. Through this exploration, individuals can gain insight into how the body and mind interact to create patterns of behavior, and how those patterns can be changed to promote healing and wellness.
Dance / Movement Therapy (DMT)Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that uses movement as a medium for self-expression, exploration, and healing. It is based on the belief that the body and mind are interconnected, and that the body is a source of knowledge and wisdom. Through the practice of DMT, individuals are encouraged to explore movement in order to gain insight into their emotional state and gain insight into the underlying causes of their difficulties. The goal of DMT is to help individuals identify, process, and integrate their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in order to improve their overall well-being.
Somatic Experiencing (SE)Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other physical and psychological stresses. It is based on the idea that the body is a powerful source of healing and that unresolved trauma can be resolved through the process of bringing awareness and attention to the physical sensations of the body. By gradually and gently guiding individuals through the sensations associated with their traumatic experience, SE can help to restore balance and well-being more quickly and effectively than traditional psychotherapy. SE utilizes the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal itself and supports individuals in developing more resilience and self-regulation. Somatic Experiencing aims to help people move past the place where they might be “stuck” in processing a traumatic event. SE is often used to treat symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
