Jewish Therapists in Palo Alto, CA

Relationships can be hard. Partners struggle with communication, conflicting parenting styles, sexual expressions... Life's challenges, hurtful fights, history of trauma or infidelity make it difficult to sustain trust and closeness. How can you create desired connections, and not lose yourself in the process? How can you be true both to self and to your partnership? I invite you to explore these questions together with empathy and curiosity, letting go of habitual judgments, self-deprecation, and shame. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Both traditional and alternative lifestyles are welcome, and no issue is a taboo.

Becoming a mother, whether for the first time or again, can be a difficult change that can often lead to unwanted anxious thoughts, depression, and self-doubt. You may worry about getting it “right” or feel overwhelmed. Before you were a mother, you had another identity and may be trying to get back to yourself. Some moms struggle to bond with baby, but you can learn to nurture a trusting attachment. Becoming pregnant and giving birth can be a powerful experience and you may want to feel more prepared or process a traumatic birth. You deserve support and skills to ease the unique challenges and vulnerable moments in this journey.

I provide services for children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing challenges with anxiety and depression.

If you or your child are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or are struggling to find a place in the world I would like to collaborate with you to live a life that feels bright and vibrant.

Welcome to a space where healing is rooted in empathy, understanding, and genuine connection. As a firm believer in the power of human connection, I approach therapy with the understanding that we are all fundamentally human first. Whether you're traversing the challenges of youth, navigating the complexities of adulthood, or somewhere in between, my goal is to meet you where you are with empathy and compassion. Together, we'll create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences with authenticity and trust.

Are you tossing and turning in bed, struggling to fall asleep? Are you exhausted, but your brain just will not stop worrying about your day, your ability to fall asleep, and everything else in the world? Are you constantly checking the clock, and despairing? All you want is a good night of restful sleep.

Working together, we will co-create markers of success on the path towards your therapeutic goals, anchoring our work both in the evidence base and the stories and realities of each of our lived experiences. I am trained in modern trauma-informed and culturally-affirming behavioral therapies, including ACT, CBT, DBT, MBSR, and schema-based work.

Wherever you find yourself right now, I am here to support you in your journey to connect with yourself or others, gain understanding, experience relief, and, ultimately, build a more satisfying life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or feelings of being stuck, therapy presents an opportunity to shift your experience and grow your capacity for change. Effective therapy produces relief from suffering, but not only that: it is also opens up worlds of freedom, making once unthinkable choices or ways of being in the world feel newly possible.

People who struggle with eating disorders often feel alone, ashamed and out of control. Even experienced healthcare providers can unintentionally minimize, overlook or invalidate the suffering eating disorders inflict on the health and wellbeing of those seeking help. Sufferers might begin to believe they do not deserve care, or that they are not “sick enough” to be taken seriously. As a result, far too many people stop reaching out. Eating disorders affect people of all shapes, sizes, genders, ages, races and nationalities. Therefore, treatment needs to be flexible and adaptive to meet the needs of a diverse population.

I believe that seeking therapy is a brave first step towards healing, and feeling comfortable with your therapist is vital to this process. I provide a non-judgmental, warm environment where you can set the course of your healing journey. I support adults and couples on a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and unhealthy patterns of behavior.

WELCOME BEAUTIFUL! If you haven't already, please take this present moment to tune in to your innate wisdom, to see if I might be the inner-guide you've been looking for.

Too often, people start therapy w/out really knowing how it's supposed to help them. Too often, therapists passively listen without providing the essential skills & insights to help them get better. This can lead to a lot of time and money being spent w/out seeing much improvement. That is why my practice has a transparent and teamwork driven approach. In the 1st 1-3 sessions we go over why you started therapy and then collaborate on a treatment plan that is customized to your specific goals. Over the course of treatment we review progress and make modifications accordingly.

Difficult feelings can be a gateway for personal growth. I work with many individuals struggling with depression and anxiety, trauma, problems in relationships, stress management, and life transitions. My approach is to help you explore those difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences which prevent you from being comfortable with who you would like to be, what you want in your life, and the kinds of relationships that you want to have with others.

I work with individuals that are motivated to achieve greater well-being and resilience.

Just like life, therapy is both an adventure and a risk. As a therapist, I encourage you to focus on the concept of choice. Our lives are constantly filled with the need to make choices. Should you be in a relationship or leave one? Is your current job the right one for you? Can you learn how to accept and express your needs? Choosing a therapist can be very confusing, but choosing the right therapist can be crucial to living a happy and fulfilling life. I specialize in helping you develop tools for managing depression and anxiety as well strengthen your ability to communicate and experience a more fulfilling life.

Whether you've been in therapy before, or this will be your first time; it is important to feel safe and comfortable enough to talk about things that are causing you distress. Are you experiencing life changes, decisions, challenges, trauma, illness, or disabilities? Are you looking for a way to cope with anxiety or depression?  Do you have nightmares or trouble sleeping?  Maybe you have experienced the loss of someone close to you, or a job, or a beloved pet.  Or you are just plain stressed out.  All the time. Talk can help, but so can non-verbal expressive therapies, in a non-threatening, non-judgmental environment.
