About Me
I am 50 years old, married for 24 years, and a mother of four children: a young man diagnosed with "moderate-low functioning" autism spectrum disorder, a young woman, and two teenagers (boy and a girl).
Throughout my life, I have encountered a variety of challenges that have shaped me and taught me how to grow and find empowerment through them. Over time, I realized that many of the things I aspire to are deeply connected to my journey of self-realization. This journey yields beautiful moments of joy and strength while also requiring me to confront and overcome limitations, such as avoidance, anxiety, and unhelpful beliefs.
My passion lies in helping others on their own path to self-discovery—perceiving and experiencing life’s challenges as opportunities for healing and transformation, growing stronger, and increasing inner calm and joy.
I place a particular emphasis on family dynamics - relationships, parenthood, and the profound opportunities for growth they offer.

Whom and What for
Self-realization unfolds moment by moment, across the diverse realms of daily life, including personal conduct, relationships, social interactions, and more. It is reflected in our ability to express ourselves with authenticity and freedom balanced with self-regulation that supports our goals. Self-realization may also manifest in developing meaningful and rewarding professional pathways that express our unique essence, or by realigning existing ones to better serve this purpose. This journey is nurtured by embracing the natural events of life, as drivers for growth and building resilience.
The processes are designed for women and men (of all ages and backgrounds) who are interested in investing in themselves:
Past – Processing past traumas and events; engaging in healing, release, and balance processes; understanding meanings, establishing connections and learning; getting to know, accepting, and integrating different aspects of the self.
Present – Processing current events (changes, crises, occurrences) for acceptance and transformation into motivating and rewarding forces; addressing anxiety; developing self-regulation skills and the ability to experience joy and satisfaction in the positive aspects of our lives; building resilience.
Future – Driving growth and self-realization processes within our areas of influence.

How and Where
Integrative Psychotherapy
Integrative psychotherapy views the individual as a holistic human system—encompassing body, mind, and spirit - and therefore adopts a systemic approach to all interconnected aspects of well-being. The process is based on dynamic dialogue, as is typical in traditional psychological practices, while also integrating a therapeutic understanding of the expressions and impacts of the body (e.g., physical tension resulting from mental stress) and the spirit (e.g., the patient’s beliefs). Where appropriate, integrative therapy tools are incorporated to enhance the process.
A cornerstone of this approach is cultivating a space that is empathetic, inclusive, and supportive. Additionally, if relevant, elements of results-based coaching and consulting (organizational and managerial) are integrated into the process.
Work Modalities
Sessions can be conducted in Hebrew or English.
Sessions are held in a magical clinic located in Ramat Hasharon or via Zoom.
Combining Personal Processes and Workshops
Integrating a personal process with workshops provides a comprehensive and rich experience. This approach combines the intimacy and customization of private sessions with the collective growth and skill-building offered in group settings, addressing practical life contexts.

Workshops and Group Work
Depending on the number of registrants, group workshops are occasionally opened to develop skills related to central issues in our lives, with a focus on self-realization and fostering feelings of well-being. The meetings combine theoretical guidance, group discussion, and experiential learning through practice.
Each workshop begins by establishing a shared space that is safe and inclusive. The group setting enables learning from the experiences of others, gaining external perspectives, strengthening self-awareness, collective processing, and enjoying interaction with others, facing similar challenges. At the end of the workshop, the path taken will be evaluated, and integration into everyday life will be encouraged.

Ashtanga Yoga
Yoga is a way of life that integrates principles for relating to ourselves and our environment, physical practices involving movement and breath, and mental practices such as focus, concentration, and meditation.
The goal is to cultivate within ourselves (body, mind, and spirit) the ability to fully be—grounded, present, inclusive, stable, and yet flexible in the here and now.
The qualities and benefits of consistent, mindful practice are beyond words, offering profound support for therapeutic, cognitive, and healing growth processes.
You are invited to practice with me.
