My style is marked by a deep openness to experience and a revisiting of emotions and memories in a nonjudgemental and collaborative environment allowing you a greater sense of freedom.
I am passionate about social justice and diversity. I have lived, studied, and worked in Israel, Argentina, and Brazil. Having experienced diverse cultures and languages offers a unique agility in shifting my lens to tailor my understanding and intervention for you.
Those who come—
People often ask if I specialize in working with a particular type of person. While I do not focus on a particular disorder or treat a specific demographic group, my patients share certain worries and concerns. These include: not knowing themselves; experiencing deep feelings of emptiness, dread, shame, and/or a diffuse sense of their multiple identities; suffering with anxieties, fears and phobias; having difficulties around sex, their sexuality and/or gender; suffering with physical ailments not otherwise explained by medicine; issues with body image, and those struggling with their eating.
I also work with people who have worked both with and as sex workers and with those who patronize sex workers, persons who are attracted to minors, and those whose sexually maladaptive behavior has caused disruption in their lives. This includes those with legal involvement.
I typically work with people who have had multiple prior treatments that have not brought them to where they would like to be in their lives. My work takes into consideration the wide array of power that exists between people and the ways in which this affects a person's sense of self and how that person can come to experience who they are as a person. I work from a culturally sensitive perspective and facilitate the exploration to find a person's private language and its interaction with others.
I work with people for varying lengths of time, at a minimum of once a week, depending on whether we choose to focus on an immediate problem or undertake a more open-ended process. In whatever capacity, we'll work together toward possible goals such as: stopping repetitive destructive behaviors, achieving satisfying relationships, and reaching your creative, emotional, and professional potential.
