My Work

TRANSFORM THROUGH YOUR HEALING JOURNEY

Hi. I’m a psychotherapist (LMSW) with over 40 years of experience and provide clients with a therapeutic approach that’s Torah-based, eclectic, holistic, creative, and goal-oriented. I have experience working with many types of trauma.

I believe that everyone’s life journey benefits from developing a wide range of skills for recovery and growth. Sometimes we need to heal past hurts and traumas, while at other times we’re ready to integrate new, healthier beliefs or behaviours. Together we can decide which process to focus on to heal and/or reach your goals.

Your inner and external resources are great allies in this process. For example, we can use muscle testing to help determine which technique would be most comfortable and effective at any given point in the therapeutic process.

My approach is holistic, which means that I take into consideration the ‘whole’ person: body, heart, mind (conscious and unconscious) and spirit. As someone who synthesises Torah with psychology, I believe that our issues and challenges are designed by G-d to reveal our hidden strengths and undeveloped abilities. I have faith that since “G-d brought us to it, He will bring us through it” and that we will be enriched and inspired by the journey to self-knowledge and realisation.

As a therapist, I offer you the presence of a deep empathetic listener, curious questioner, and active respond-er. I have also developed an original, highly effective paradigm for change called the 3 Spheres of Self to give you a conceptual understanding of how to become more confident, resourceful, proactive, and aligned with your Higher Self/Power. I also offer life coaching and spiritual counselling.

Because I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed when working with me, I offer an initial 15 minute consultation at no charge so you can get to know me a bit. This introductory meeting can be via Skype or by phone. I invite you to begin your healing journey by taking the first step to see if I am the one you want to be your guide on your healing journey.
