As an English-speaking therapist in Israel, I integrate a variety of approaches to help clients explore their inner world, foster growth, and navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and evolves as I gain new experiences and develop additional skills.
I combine therapeutic techniques, self-regulation methods, and diverse philosophical perspectives, allowing me to tailor the process to each client’s unique needs and preferences—adapting to their current situation and personal inclinations.
The therapeutic relationship is not just a technique—it is the foundation and the gold standard of effective psychological therapy. There is no point in discussing any “technique” or “approach” if a supportive, respectful, and compassionate therapeutic connection is not in place.
I am committed to creating a space where my clients can unburden their daily struggles, whether through laughter, tears, grief, or growth. Without a genuine therapeutic bond, meaningful work simply cannot happen.
Either we are a team, or we are not.
The combination of a strong therapeutic relationship and the right therapeutic techniques allows for a brave, uncompromising engagement with life’s challenges.
Using evidence-based tools, I help clients identify and modify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying cognitive distortions, such as black-and-white thinking, and working to reshape them. Utilizing behavioral activation to encourage positive actions that improve mood and reduce avoidance of stress and discomfort.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Practicing mindful awareness to observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, while identifying personal values that guide meaningful behavior. ACT fosters resilience by helping clients accept and work with difficult emotions rather than avoiding them—building psychological flexibility to face life’s challenges with strength and adaptability.
Existential Psychotherapy – Exploring themes such as meaning, freedom, mortality, and authenticity, encouraging clients to live in alignment with their true selves, even when it involves discomfort.
Jungian Psychology – Engaging in shadow work to confront and integrate repressed or hidden aspects of the self, revealing valuable insights and fostering personal growth. Examining archetypes and the collective unconscious helps clients connect with universal themes while distinguishing between cultural influences and their authentic identity.
Freudian Psychodynamics – Investigating early relationships to understand how past experiences shape present behavior. Identifying and working with defense mechanisms, while strengthening ego resilience, helps clients cultivate greater emotional stability and self-awareness.
Self-regulation techniques empower clients to manage stress, cultivate calm, and establish a strong foundation for personal resilience:
Meditation – Practicing non-dual meditation to develop resilience by observing difficult thoughts and emotions, staying present with discomfort, and fostering inner strength to process and persist through challenging experiences.
Self-Regulation Techniques – Engaging in breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation to manage anxiety and stabilize emotions.
Guided Imagery – Using soothing mental imagery to create a space for relaxation, as well as visualizing goals to enhance motivation and personal growth.
I integrate existential and philosophical perspectives that explore life’s fundamental questions and personal meaning:
Existential Philosophy – Drawing inspiration from Nietzsche, Irvin Yalom, and Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, I help clients explore meaning—especially in suffering—and embrace freedom and responsibility in their life choices.
Stoicism – Applying wisdom from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca to cultivate resilience and acceptance. Stoic principles guide us to focus on what we can control, release attachment to outcomes, and find inner peace amidst life’s challenges.
Buddhist Philosophy – Practicing non-attachment to reduce suffering and understanding impermanence to ease anxiety and grief.
Non-Duality (Advaita/Direct Path) – Exploring the nature of self, dissolving the illusion of separation, and recognizing the unity of all things, fostering a deeper sense of connection and inner clarity.
For clients interested in exploring the spiritual dimension of their experience, I offer guidance through both religious and non-dual frameworks:
Non-Duality (Advaita/Direct Inquiry) – Engaging in self-inquiry (e.g., “Who am I?”) to explore identity beyond labels, cultivating awareness of the observing self, and distinguishing between thoughts, emotions, and sensations. This perspective helps clients witness their inner experiences without excessive identification, fostering a state of calm and grounding.
Theology & Religious Thought – Drawing on religious perspectives to explore life’s struggles with greater depth and compassion. Concepts like “The Dark Night of the Soul” illustrate profound personal crises that may feel like existential or spiritual emptiness but often serve as a gateway to greater inner clarity, transformation, and resilience.
Buddhist Philosophy – Encouraging mindful awareness of suffering, cultivating compassion, and integrating key aspects of the Noble Eightfold Path, such as Right Action and Right Intention, to align behavior with deeply held values.
Each session is tailored to your unique path, honoring your personal journey and guiding you toward a deeper sense of self and meaning. My goal is to support you in discovering a balanced, meaningful, and authentic life—one where you stand firmly on both feet, fully experiencing everything that arises in your story with resilience and courage.
