Psychotherapy
As embedded in the word itself, a psychotherapist provides therapy to psyche. In that sense, analysis and psychotherapy have the same aim. However, while analysis deals mainly with one's inner world; therapy usually deals with adaptation to outer world. That is, relationships and work, and the disturbances and sufferings revolving around them. Therefore, in psychotherapy the focus is on one's symptoms (depression, anxieties, trauma and
more), one's relationship with others and with work. Psychotherapist treats issues, disturbances and symptoms of individuals, as well as copules, and a whole family. I am a certified psychotherapist in Israel* and have been working as psychotherapist before I embarked of the four years journey to became an analyst. I serve as core faculty and supervisor in the Jungian psychotherapy program in Ruppin Academic Center, Israel. In working with clients, my approach is relational-psychodynamic, that is, a depth approach that is focused with past and present relationship, while utilizing the therapeutic relationship. My approach manifests an integration of my tendency towards the relational field, with my understandings and experience of both psychotherapy and analysis. Therefore, I am a depth psychodynamic psychotherapist. In different than in analysis, where the therapeutic relationship is a venture of two people, working as a psychotherapist I see individual as well as couples and families. Being an expert in early life relationship, I love working with family dynamics and parental guidance. If you feel called to work with me, do reach out.

"The ultimate goal of therapy ...words come to me like tranquility, like fulfillment, like realizing your potential. Things that Freud used to say; being able to work and to love. . . But mainly it's this idea I tried to explain ... you have to develop a separate new therapy for every single patient."

“Issues and conflict will arise in every relationship. But in healthy relationships, the deeper issue is recognized, and we work to chip away at it, moving from rupture to repair.”

Therapy
"A family therapist, joins the family to become an agent of change who works within the constraints of the family system, intervening in ways that are possible only with this particular family, to produce a different, more productive way of living."
