Approach

Clients find the work moves at a steady, respectful pace: I notice patterns, invite new responses, and reflect with you on what feels useful. In Silver Spring or through secure online sessions in English or Hebrew, groups and individuals meet in concise, focused segments that balance attentive listening with gentle challenge. Sessions blend psychodynamic exploration with practical experiments between meetings—short exercises, peer feedback, and careful tracking of mood and relationships. Those facing loss, trauma, or major relationship shifts often leave with clearer choices and renewed capacity to adapt.
