About Me:

I grew up in Toronto, Canada. My journey as a psychologist began in Montreal, where I completed a B.A. in psychology at McGill University. I later earned a Masters and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in Australia, while training under the supervision of world leaders in the field of anxiety disorders. I authored a number of published chapters and articles in leading peer-reviewed journals.

On returning to Israel in 2009, I began working as a psychologist through the Efrat municipality and subsequently received my specialization license in School Psychology. I worked for 9 years in Efrat, providing consultation services to paraprofessional staff and parents, as well as offering psychological assessment, parent counseling and treatment for children with learning difficulties, ADHD, and behavioral issues.

I consult in both English and Hebrew and provide both long and short-term therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.  I am committed to providing evidence-based,high quality, empathy psychological services, tailored to each client's individual needs and goals. I enjoy being part of each client’s journey towards living a productive and fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Practice:  

Evidence-based therapy means that I adhere to psychological approaches which integrate the best available scientific research with clinical experience in deciding the best course of treatment for your particular case.
