Anxiety & Depression Therapy in Jerusalem

This service is for anyone in Jerusalem, New York, or New Jersey — typically navigating life somewhere between their late teens and forties — dealing with: Anxiety — racing thoughts, constant worry, panic attacks, or a nervous system that never quite switches off Depression & low mood — persistent sadness, emptiness, or feeling disconnected from yourself and your life Relationship struggles — dating, marital tension, communication breakdowns, or feeling unseen in a relationship Life transitions — engagement, marriage, career changes, or shifts in personal identity Trauma — past experiences that continue to shape how safe, worthy, or in-control you feel today Community & family pressure — balancing personal struggles with family and communal expectations, without feeling judged for needing help I also work with the broader English-speaking community in Jerusalem, including: New olim adjusting to Israeli life, bureaucracy, and identity shifts Gap-year students navigating homesickness, independence, or program pressure English-speaking adults of any background looking to improve their mental well-being Looking for support specifically around motherhood, hormonal changes, or women's mental health? Visit our Women's Health page for specialized care. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you're in the right place.

Treatment is evidence-based, collaborative, and shaped around who you are — including your values, community, and religious life, not in spite of them. Depending on your needs, we may draw on: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — identifying and reshaping the thought patterns that drive anxiety and depression Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — building psychological flexibility and values-driven action, even when anxiety is present Psychodynamic Therapy — exploring how past experiences, family patterns, and relationships shape present-day struggles Trauma-Informed Care — gentle, paced work with difficult or painful past experiences, at a speed that feels safe Mindfulness-Based Techniques — practical tools for grounding, nervous system regulation, and reducing reactivity Culturally-Sensitive Care — therapy that understands community and family dynamics, relationship and marriage pressures, personal identity, and the added layer of building a life in a new country Every treatment plan starts with a clear, non-judgmental conversation about what's actually going on — no assumptions, and no pressure to explain or justify your background or beliefs.

Taking the step to start therapy is hard enough — figuring out logistics shouldn't add to the stress. I work to keep care accessible, with insurance accepted for U.S.-based clients and flexible private-pay options for clients in Israel. Licensed in New York and New Jersey, with virtual sessions for clients in those states, and both virtual and in-person sessions for English-speakers in Jerusalem. A superbill is available for clients seeking reimbursement through their own insurance. → See full Fees, Insurance & Getting Started details, including accepted insurance plans and scheduling.
