I’ve had 42 years of experience with a very wide range of clients.  Having lived in Israel for 55 years and the U.S. for 24, I see myself as both Israeli and American.

I find that every client is unique and I have to learn her/him as we go along.  Therefore I have a number of different approaches and techniques (such as dynamic therapy, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, Mind-Body, and more) that I can call upon to help different people in ways that suit them: fit the help to the client, not the client to my knowledge/beliefs.  The people I like most to work with are those who are motivated and understand that they’ll have to work to get results.  I love to work outdoors, walking or sitting.  I feel that there is room for humor and joy in therapy, no less than pain and tears.  

Licensing concerns: I am a licensed Senior/Supervising Clinical Psychologist in Israel.  I worked in  private practice and public health settings in Israel for 39 years.  Here I work under the title Life Counselor, which isn’t regulated and doesn’t require a license.  Unfortunately, the existing insurance plans do not reimburse for counseling.
