I am on a lifelong journey of self-discovery. As someone who was once deeply engaged in Orthodox Judaism, I have experienced what it is like to step outside of my comfort zone to live a life that is my own, true to my values and beliefs. It is partly why I am dedicated to helping clients connect with their authentic voices, share their stories, and embrace self-acceptance.

My approach focuses on improving overall well-being by tapping into clients' innate strengths and resources. I believe in exploring the unique cultural backgrounds and identities of each individual and understanding the vital role they play in shaping how they experience the world around them.

I work with diverse populations, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, navigating sexuality, intimacy, grief, and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. Additionally, I assist couples as they approach difficult conversations and foster secure-functioning relationships.

I am EMDR trained by the Institute for Creative Mindfulness and I am currently attending a weekly couples & sex therapy training by AACAST.

My academic background includes a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Northridge, and valuable training from the Southern California Counseling Center, emphasizing a humanistic and postmodern perspective. Before my counseling career, I explored creative avenues in film and design and volunteered at a suicide hotline, gaining profound experience in metaphorically sitting in the dark with individuals through their discomfort and pain. I believe that our darkest moments provide great opportunities for growth and transformation.
