My Approach
People seek therapy for various reasons, often due to a life crisis associated with emotional pain (such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, anxiety, and more). Sometimes the reason for seeking therapy is a sense of stagnation and difficulty in making change, other times it is due to low self-esteem or self-confidence. Some seek therapy because of dissatisfaction with work, social relationships, and other areas. Regardless of the reason, all requests for therapy are motivated by the desire to reduce emotional distress and to create deep and meaningful change.
In my view, therapy is a collaborative journey between the therapist and the patient, a unique and personal path for each individual. The goal of therapy is to enable the patient to recognize their inner world while also exploring practical ways of coping. The therapeutic approach is determined based on the needs, wishes, and strengths unique to each individual. My therapeutic method is grounded in the belief that recognizing our inner world and increasing awareness of our psychological processes enables us to better understand the sources of difficulty and pain. This understanding is the foundation for better coping with various life situations and for establishing meaningful change and growth, even in situations that may seem difficult, depressing, “stuck,” or “hopeless.”
I treat a wide range of emotional and psychological issues, including: anxiety and depression, social difficulties, grief, crisis situations, feelings of stagnation, relationship issues, sexual identity, eating disorders, parenting, trauma, and more.
