Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern · Bilingual: English & Hebrew

To me, the power of therapy comes from building a safe, supportive relationship with another person. The connection and trust we develop together can become a model for the close, honest relationships you’re seeking in the rest of your life.

I am an adult psychodynamic therapist who works with people navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, struggles with self-esteem and self-worth, and patterns of attachment that may no longer serve them. I believe real change begins with insight — not only into what’s happening in your life now, but into the patterns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and connect with others. Psychodynamic therapy isn’t simply about revisiting the past; it’s about understanding how the past may still be playing out in your life today. But understanding is only the beginning — the heart of the work is turning that understanding into action that allows change to take hold.

What I Want for You During Our Sessions

I want therapy to be a place where you can speak honestly and be fully known. Together, we’ll explore the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself, the expectations you bring into relationships, and the patterns that may keep repeating even when you consciously want something different.

We’ll look for connections between your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, and explore what may be underneath the patterns you’re experiencing. At the same time, we’ll keep an eye on a practical question: What can you do differently now? My goal isn’t simply to help you understand yourself — it’s to help you use that understanding to make meaningful changes in your life.

My Professional Background

Therapy is my second career and my ultimate vocation. I came to clinical work after earning a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard University and spending more than a decade as a nonprofit executive. That work gave me the chance to see human needs firsthand and address them on a broader, collective level — but over time, I found myself wanting to support people more individually.

I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I most recently interned with Jewish Family Services, where I worked with adolescents and adults navigating a range of life transitions.
