As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples and families. I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, so creating an environment where you feel comfortable and safe is foundational to my work.

​

My primary work includes supporting betrayed partners of sex addicts, as well as the couple affected by sex addiction. Other common issues I work with are  interpersonal relationship issues, marriage and communication issues, marital intimacy enhancement, childhood and developmental trauma and sexual abuse trauma recovery. 

​

My approach is client-centered; my main objective is to help empower you to identify and reach your goals. I endeavour to create a gentle and safe space while aiming for achievable results. 

​

In addition to working in private practice, I am the Director of Intake and Care Management for Ray of Hope - a non-profit that supports Jewish survivors of sexual abuse. In addition, I facilitate several professionally facilitated peer support groups for Ray of Hope.

 

My other experience includes providing clinical services in: a residential rehab facility for drugs and alcohol, in public and alternative school settings as an addiction counsellor, and in high schools and colleges as a teacher and administrator. I also regularly contribute to Family First, Mishpacha Magazine in the area of mental health and other feature articles. 

​

I am dedicated to continued learning and expertise - especially in the area of trauma informed treatment and addiction. I am a certified EMDR practitioner (EMDRIA), and a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT) through IITAP. 

Other trainings include: Belief Focused Approach to Psychotherapy, Sexual Reintegration Therapy, and Gottman Relationship Training (current). 

​

I am licensed to practice in the State of New York and in Canada.
