Great to meet you!

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself? You know, that part if yourself that gets lost among all your responsibilities and commitments and social media and stress and all the things you tell yourself...all that stuff that makes you feel fragmented and overwhelmed. I excel at helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards healing, success, and growth.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in Internal Family Systems and work with adults, children, and couples. I have a particular focus on helping men struggling with confidence and assertiveness. As a frum therapist (i.e. orthodox Jewish) I'm most familiar with that particular lifestyle, while it has also provided me with the sensitivity to understand other cultures as well.

What you can expect from me

Most people start seeing a therapist because they seek support, validation, and empathy. While I certainly provide my clients with those gifts, I also and more importantly will help you give these gifts to yourself. If you're ready to get to know yourself better and to cultivate Self-leadership, I'm here to help.
