    Individual Therapy in Jerusalem

    Sometimes you don't need a crisis to justify therapy — you just need a space that's entirely your own, to think out loud, untangle what's weighing on you, and figure out what you actually want. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or like you're carrying more than you can name, individual therapy offers room to slow down and work through it. I offer confidential, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive therapy in English, in-person and virtually in Jerusalem, and virtually for clients in New York and New Jersey.

    Who This Service Is For

    This service is for anyone in Jerusalem, New York, or New Jersey working through: Personal growth & self-discovery — wanting to understand yourself more clearly, or make changes that actually stick Emotional overwhelm — feeling stretched too thin, reactive, or disconnected from your own needs Identity questions — career, relationships, faith, or simply who you are outside of the roles you play for others Stress & burnout — from work, family responsibilities, or the accumulated weight of daily life Difficulty setting boundaries — struggling to say no, over-functioning for others, or losing yourself in caretaking roles Wanting an unbiased, confidential space — somewhere to process without worrying how it will land with people in your life 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 with a specific concern — anxiety, relationships, trauma, or a major life change? Explore the other services I offer. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and you're in the right place.

    Our Approach to Individual Therapy

    Treatment is evidence-based, collaborative, and shaped around who you are — not a fixed script applied to everyone. Depending on your needs, we may draw on: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — building psychological flexibility and clarity around what actually matters to you Psychodynamic Therapy — exploring how past experiences and relational patterns shape how you show up today Person-Centered, Humanistic Approaches — a warm, non-directive space that trusts you as the expert on your own life Mindfulness-Based Techniques — practical tools for grounding, self-awareness, and reducing reactivity Culturally-Sensitive Care — therapy that understands community and family dynamics, 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.

    Fees, Insurance & Logistics

    Starting therapy is a big enough step on its own — the logistics shouldn't be another barrier. I work to keep care accessible, with insurance accepted for clients in New York and New Jersey, 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.
