    Our Approach to Women's Mental Health

    Treatment is evidence-based, collaborative, and shaped around the realities of your life — not generic advice. Depending on your needs, we may draw on: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — reshaping the anxious or self-critical thought patterns that show up around motherhood, body image, or perfectionism Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — building room to feel overwhelmed and still move toward what matters to you Psychodynamic Therapy — understanding how family history, generational patterns, and past relationships shape how you show up as a woman, partner, or mother today Perinatal Mental Health-Informed Care — specialized support for pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood Mindfulness & Nervous System Regulation — practical tools for the moments when you're touched out, overstimulated, or running on empty Culturally-Informed Care — therapy that understands the added layer of raising a family or building a life as a woman in a new country Every treatment plan starts with an honest, judgment-free conversation about what you're actually carrying — and what support would realistically look like.

    Fees, Insurance & Logistics

    Between doctor's appointments, childcare, and everything else on your plate, therapy logistics shouldn't be one more hurdle. I work to keep care manageable, 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-speaking women 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.

     Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy for postpartum struggles?

    No. You don't need a label to reach out — if something feels off, harder than it should be, or not like yourself, that's reason enough to start.

    How soon after birth can I begin therapy?

    Whenever you're ready. Some women reach out during pregnancy to prepare, and others start in the early postpartum weeks. Virtual sessions make it more manageable when leaving the house feels like too much.

    Do you work with mothers whose 'baby' is now older?

    Yes. The mental load of motherhood doesn't disappear when the baby stage does — support is available at every stage, including the teenage years and beyond.

    Do you treat postpartum depression and anxiety?

    Yes. I work with women experiencing prenatal and postpartum anxiety, depression, birth trauma, and the emotional adjustment to new motherhood.

    Do you work with new olim mothers raising children in Israel?

    Yes. Supporting women who are building a family and a new life in Israel, often far from your own support system, is a core part of my practice.

    What therapy approaches do you use for women's mental health?

    I draw on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, perinatal mental health-informed care, and mindfulness-based techniques, tailored to each woman's stage of life.

    Do you offer therapy for fertility struggles or pregnancy loss?

    Yes. I provide a supportive, judgment-free space for women navigating fertility challenges, IVF, and pregnancy loss.

    Can I bring my baby to session if needed?

    Yes — in-person sessions in Jerusalem can accommodate a baby, and virtual sessions offer flexibility for the reality of feeding, naps, and unpredictable schedules.

    Do you work with women navigating perimenopause or PMDD?

    Yes. Hormonal life-stage transitions, including PMDD and perimenopause-related mood changes, are a specific focus of women's mental health care in this practice.
