As a therapist with over 15 years of experience my passion is helping individuals on their journey toward health and wholeness. I believe deeply in the inner drive that each person possesses for healing and growth. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from mindfulness-based interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. By combining these methods, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, guiding them toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I believe that knowledge is power and the sense of mastery and agency go a long way towards dealing with the transitions and challenges that life presents.  I therefore often draw on psycho-education and strategies as well as active and collaborative therapeutic relationships.

My academic background includes a Specialist BSc in Psychology from the University of Toronto, an MA in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia, and extensive training in Clinical Psychology from Tel Aviv University.

Performance Interests: The world is a wonderous place and filled with so much to explore.  I enjoy yoga, painting, photography, cooking and time with my family.  I am a certified Svastha Yoga Teacher (200YYT) and an avid lifelong learner.
