I was born and raised in Israel, which is where I learned the power of community, and moved to the USA at the age of 14. Transitioning to a new country, culture, and language was quite a move. It was tough, however in time, I adjusted.

For years, I trained and competed in horse-jumping, and absolutely loved it. Horses will always have a special place in my heart.

In High School, I fell madly in love with filmmaking, and shifted to pursuing my education in that.

 

In 1996, I graduated the University of Southern California, with a bachelor's degree in humanities/theater/film, and then attended the UCLA Film Extension Program, and the Lee Strassberg Acting School, to expand my understanding of human behavior.

Following, I proceeded to be involved in the entertainment industry in various capacities. Until, I burnt out and decided to shift yet again, into Psychology. Real life stories and characters, which was both the same -- and different -- then filmmaking.

​

In 2012, I graduated Antioch University, Los Angeles, with a master's degree in Clinical Psychology.

Since then, I have worked in treatment centers and in my private practice.

​

Currently, I am only in private practice, where I combine my skill and experience in psychotherapy, and filmmaking,

to provide a variety of services -- ranging from individual and couples / family therapy sessions, to consulting on creative projects,

to providing (strategic and interpersonal) help to companies.​

​

I work with couples -- and any other relational dynamics -- navigating pre-marriage, marriage/relationship expansions (ie open, poly), conflicts, infidelity/betrayal, reconciliations, healing, and endings - ie separation, divorce, co-parenting.

My open-mindedness and non-judgmental approach is helpful to her Clients in the work they do together. 

​​

I've learned so much, and continue to, from my own life experiences and relationships (the healthy and not so healthy parts),

conflicts, resolutions, grief, loss, pain, adventures, and healing. All that, combined with my clinical interest and research,

is a helpful combo that I offer to Clients.

​

My approach is mix-modality -- mainly humanistic, relational, existential, cognitive-behavioral, and experiential,

integrating a balance of cognition, education, strategy, and mindfulness.

​

From my perspective and experience, Therapy can be a journey of inquiry, exploration, discovery, and healing.

A place to gain helpful knowledge, insight, and tools. I myself have been in the Client's chair plenty,

and know how beneficial and rejuvenating it can be -- in both challenging and rewarding ways.
