Israel has a large English-speaking population and a reasonably developed therapy culture, but finding someone who does depth-oriented work in English, past CBT and short-term structured approaches, requires searching. The structured, solution-focused therapy that dominates in many local settings isn't always what people need.
I work with anyone who needs support in English and is living in Israel. Relationship difficulties, a low you can't quite name, something specific, something harder to name.
The work
The work I do is relational and pattern-focused. I don't run through intake checklists or assign exercises between sessions. I pay attention to what happens in the room: what you're saying, what you're not saying, the moments when something shifts or goes flat or speeds up. That's the material we work with.
Most people arrive already knowing the story of their situation. They've told it to themselves a hundred times and always land in the same place. What's missing is a different angle, someone watching in real time who can name what's invisible from inside it. That's what I offer. Not interpretation from a distance, but attention in the room, offered as it happens.
I work with individuals and couples. Individual work is usually about finding the pattern underneath the presenting problem, the thing that keeps recurring in different forms across different circumstances. Couples work is about finding what the argument is really about, which is rarely what it appears to be about. Both come down to the same thing: seeing what you haven't been able to see, and from there, actually being able to do something different.
Being in Israel
Israel has a specific intensity, political, social, familial, that most people find either energizing or exhausting, often both. For English speakers who moved here, the olim experience has its own particular texture: a country that welcomes you formally and has a steep learning curve personally and culturally.
If the specific texture of life here is part of what you're dealing with, we can work with it. If what brings you has nothing to do with being in Israel, that's fine.
What people bring to online therapy
The people I work with in English come for a wide range of reasons: anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, anger management, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, loneliness, self-esteem issues, procrastination, sleep problems, attachment patterns, self-sabotage, perfectionism, identity questions, and existential concerns. Online counseling makes this work possible from wherever you are, whether you need an English-speaking therapist, a virtual counselor, or simply someone who can work in your language at a depth that matters.
How it works
Sessions are online via secure video call. I work with individuals and couples (60 minutes). Before your first session, we have a brief 15-minute call to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
