About me

I was born in Israel to a family with Polish-Romanian roots, a background that has always shaped my identity in meaningful ways. Creativity has been a central part of my life. Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years working as a tattoo artist, an experience that taught me so much about the connection between art, the body, and the mind. I was deeply moved by how tattoos could help people reclaim their bodies, tell their stories, and express their inner worlds.

My personal experiences as a survivor of abuse and someone who has struggled with body image and eating disorders deeply shape my compassionate approach to therapy. I carry a deep understanding of those dark times and draw on this empathy to support my patients.

In my early twenties, I discovered psychotherapy—a journey that has been both healing and transformative. Through this process, I reconnected with my body, embraced self-love, and cultivated healthier relationships with those around me. While life continues to bring challenges, the growth I’ve experienced is incomparable to where I began.

With gratitude and emotion, I feel privileged to witness the transformations of those I work with. It is an honor to share the tools and insights I’ve gained along the way.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
I hold a degree in clinical psychology with a focus on humanistic and feminist approaches. Over the years, I have incorporated elements of body psychotherapy and mindfulness into my practice. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment where patients can explore their challenges with guidance and respectful encouragement.
