I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a successful track record of helping individuals navigate complex emotional landscapes to find healing and growth. I hold a strong Jewish identity and am the daughter of Israelis. I received my doctoral degree from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Irvine. I completed my predoctoral internship at Jackson Health System in affiliation with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and my postdoctoral residency (fellowship) at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco’s Chronic Pain Management Department. I have trained exclusively at American Psychological Association (APA) accredited programs. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of patients with a multitude of presenting problems.

Here are a few examples: Chronic pain and illness, self-discovery and personal growth difficulties, dating and relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD; physical, sexual, and emotional abuse), pre-transplant support, LGBTQIA+ presenting problems, transgender needs, HIV/AIDS troubles, grief, young adult life transitions, adjustment difficulties, mood disorders, personality disorders, and COVID-19 related stressors.

I specialize in guiding individuals through their unique challenges toward a life of greater joy, purpose, and emotional well-being. Just Breathe Psychotherapy (JBP) is built on the foundation of empathy, expertise, and a deep commitment to each individual’s journey.
