Individual Therapy

I invite you to clear a space where your feelings and dreams can be heard, where you can connect with yourself and create meaningful change in your life.

Whether you are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety/depression, complex relationships, health challenges, parenting struggles, or lifecycle events such as birth and postpartum, this is your safe space to explore your inner terrain and make positive changes in your life.

There is no one timeline for therapeutic work; you may have undergone recent challenges or be dealing with the lingering impact of childhood trauma. Either way, therapy can offer processing, healing and empowerment.

You are your own wisest navigator; I’m there to facilitate and guide your process. I combine a number of modalities in my work, including IFS, Somatic experiencing, mindfulness, expressive arts and behavioral techniques. Different tools are incorporated as needed for your individual therapy journey.

Together we take stock of your challenges, strengths, and goals. I offer you a safe holding space where we can meet your inner experiences with curiosity and courage, attunement and respect. We work together to meet your needs and cultivate tools for you to take along going forward.

Couple’s / Sex therapy

I believe our relationships are where we truly “meet” the deepest parts of ourselves and others, and marital intimacy is where these encounters are sometimes strongest.

As humans we are wired to seek connection through emotional and physical intimacy in marriage. And yet, for so many reasons, this can be a struggle. Therapy can help you create a more healthy, comfortable, and satisfying connection with your partner.

In couple’s therapy I address a variety of issues including communication, emotional intimacy, conflicting intimate needs, low desire, lack of pleasure, pain disorders, and unconsummated marriage. I also work with couples who are grappling with the impact of childhood sexual trauma on their intimate relationship. I’m committed to providing a respectful and culturally sensitive environment for you to explore this very personal area of your life.

Often the therapy involves education pertaining to sexual functioning and exercises for you to do together at home. Sometimes our work is done in conjunction with treatment from a doctor or pelvic floor physiotherapist. Whether you come individually or as a couple, the ultimate goal is enhanced happiness and closeness in your marriage.

Intimacy education

In my work as a marriage educator I witnessed the central role marital intimacy plays in every married Jewish woman’s life—and how knowledge, tools and support can make all the difference.

I created a curriculum based on my combined fields of experience and have been privileged to teach hundreds of Jewish women around the world and across a broad spectrum of religious communities.

At this time, I'm not actively teaching my course. But as a therapist I'm still involved in intimacy education, which can play an important role in creating change and healing around intimacy struggles. In therapy, education can be personalized, tailored to your needs and sensitivities, while holding space for your personal history and process in this area.

I see this as an example of "content" and "process" in harmony: here content refers to the educational material itself, and process refers to the feelings that come up for you around these topics. I have found that when we attend to both in a therapeutic context, the shifts can be deep and integrated.
