Therapy works best when it reflects the unique person sitting across from me. With more than 30 years of experience working with children, teens, college students, adults, parents, and families, I bring extensive clinical experience and warmth to my work. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming, with therapy shaped by what feels most helpful for each person.
I believe healing doesn’t always begin with words. My graduate training in Art Therapy and Social Work allows me to offer a range of tools and approaches to clients of all ages. Therapy is custom tailored to each client’s individual needs and may include talk therapy, art therapy, play therapy, mindfulness, or a thoughtful blend of approaches. Art therapy may involve drawing, painting, collage, creative journaling, and other expressive approaches, providing a gentle, creative way to better understand life’s challenges and express difficult emotions. No artistic talent or experience is necessary.
My work with children and teens often includes collaboration with parents. After decades of working with children and families, I understand how confusing and challenging it can feel to support a child who is struggling. Parent coaching can help parents better understand their child, develop practical strategies, solve problems collaboratively, manage conflicts more effectively, and strengthen family relationships.
I also have a special interest in supporting clients navigating chronic illness, whether they’re living with illness themselves or caring for someone they love. Therapy can help with adjusting to a new diagnosis or change in functioning, coping with uncertainty and overwhelm, managing medical care, grieving losses, processing medical trauma, and discovering new ways to find joy, connection, and meaning.
As a Jewish therapist, I understand how meaningful it can be to work with someone who shares an understanding of your cultural and spiritual background. This has taken on added importance since October 7th, as Jewish children, teens, adults, and families navigate experiences that may be difficult to fully appreciate outside of the Jewish community. I strive to provide a safe, supportive space where these experiences can be explored without having to explain or defend an important part of who you are.
