I am a psychotherapist and clinical social worker with over a decade of clinical work in trauma and combat stress reactions. Over 12 years of service in the IDF, in both regular and reserve duty, I served as a Mental Health Officer and gained an in-depth understanding of the world of Israel’s security forces. Today I work as an individual therapist and group facilitator.
My approach is integrative, combining psychodynamic therapy with trauma-focused methods including CBT, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing. Alongside these I draw, according to each patient’s needs, on tools from mindfulness and self-compassion practice, and on psychological perspectives informed by Buddhist and Sufi traditions.
In my work I treat mind and body as a single space. Trauma, loss, and bereavement leave their traces not only in the mind but in the body, and listening to the body can be a meaningful way to understand an experience and to create renewed movement toward regulation, agency, and healing. Alongside the work of coping with pain and injury, I also believe in the possibility of post-traumatic growth — in a person’s capacity to discover strengths and resources within themselves precisely out of the most difficult moments.
For me, therapy is a shared journey. At the outset the path is often unclear, but through human encounter, conversation at eye level, and trust in the process, a language unique to each therapeutic relationship gradually takes shape. Every encounter is different, and every process unfolds in its own way — no therapeutic hour is ever quite like another.
Over the years I have had the privilege of accompanying many people through significant moments in their lives. Each such encounter deepens my professional and human understanding, and continues to shape how I work. I believe in the strength people carry and in their capacity to move toward healing, stability, and meaning — and in the power of a safe, professional therapeutic relationship to make that movement possible.
My work includes the treatment of trauma and combat stress reactions, work with security forces personnel, and support in coping with loss, bereavement, and life crises.
