    I've had the pleasure of working in the Mental Health field for the last 12+ years. I love working with couples and helping them learn skills to better their relationships and reduce conflict by building a stronger solid foundation.. Helping women and men cope with a loss or breakup of a relationship can be one of the hardest to overcome and thereforeI try to be more motivational in my therapy approach in the effort to give hope to my clients. I also enjoy working with individuals who struggle with shopping addiction and struggles with money management.

    I work with young adults, adults and couples who may be struggling with depression, self-harm, anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, trauma, stress management, attachment struggles, and as well as with self-esteem and identity development. I’m also EMDR trained and practicing! I help couples who are dealing with infidelity, and communication issues. We can also speak in other languages in therapy as I know four of them: English, Hebrew, Russian and Ukrainian.

    I work with couples who are in high conflict, burnout, depression, managing stress/anxiety or simply being too busy to enhance their relationships. If you feel stuck and haven't resolved past issues, together we can process and figure out solutions with tools I will provide. While studying marriage and family relationships, my couples have found better ways to communicate respectfully and within safe boundaries. I am known for giving out homework and holding my couples’ accountable. Couples who are in my care will learn how to invest in their own mental health.

    My passion is geared towards working with individuals and couples who are navigating through life transitions such as alternative lifestyles, break-ups, infidelity or the nuances and intricacies of poly-relationships. I can provide a space where couples can explore the ever-changing definition of a relationship, which is a key focus of mine or seeking emotional independence, dealing with partner codependency, help with setting boundaries, fear of rejection, feelings of jealousy, working through trust issues and fear of abandonment.
