I was born in Israel, grew up in Kenya, and studied in Europe before I came to New York. That global experience informs my worldview and approach to therapy and interpersonal relationships. As your therapist, my expertise lies in helping individuals and couples navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use issues, parenting, and transitions like separation or divorce through conscious uncoupling. My approach blends psychodynamic, narrative, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to create a personalized, effective therapeutic experience.

Most men don't come to therapy seeking insight—they come because something in their lives has stopped working. I don't see these moments as failure, but as opportunities for growth. My role isn't to change who they are, but to help them understand the patterns they've developed to survive and decide whether those patterns still serve them. Therapy helps men build greater self-awareness, stronger relationships, and the freedom to become more fully themselves.

Therapy with me is practical, direct, and collaborative. We focus on building emotional awareness, improving relationships, developing healthier ways of managing stress and conflict, and creating lives that feel purposeful rather than reactive.
