I am an English speaking therapist registered in Israel and South Africa. I offer counselling services in person and online in Israel; and for South Africans, online only.

I run an International practice and am well acquainted with diverse cultures and perspectives.

If we are able to learn about and understand ourselves, and can find our true voice, we evolve, transform and steady ourselves in the world.

This can be a great relief when we have experienced emotional pain that till now we have not been able to make sense of.

Welcome!

I’ve run a clinical social work practice counselling couples and individuals for over 35 years. I began my practice in Cape Town and am now based in Israel.

A Place to Reflect

I offer a warm, relaxed and safe space to reflect and explore your emotional challenges or those within a partnership. I bring empathy and acute attentiveness to the process and together we find a way forward.

Appointment Duration and Fees

The length of a session is dependent on whether you are on your own or within a couple, and is flexible, based on an assessment of what you need.

My fees are calculated according to a sliding scale.
Payment can be made through BIT, PayPal, PayBox or EFT. South Africans can claim from medical aid.
