About Me

I work with people from all walks of life, supporting them through relationship dynamics and personal growth. Drawing on 35 years of experience and psychoanalytic training, I offer a deeply reflective space. Here, we can explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape your present, fostering lasting shifts. Sessions are held in Hebrew or English, allowing you to speak freely in the language that feels most natural. This approach suits those ready to understand themselves and their connections more deeply.

Approach

Using a bilingual space, I listen for small shifts in tone, recurring images and the patterns that quietly steer daily life. Sessions in Palo Alto or online move at a thoughtful pace — focused, curious and sometimes gently challenging — so you can test new ways of relating, regulating anxiety or rethinking control between meetings. I often blend reflective dialogue with practical steps you can try between sessions to track change. This style suits people seeking clear insight and steady, sustainable progress.
