About Art Therapy
In my eighteen years of clinical experience as an art therapist, I have witnessed the powerful healing qualities of non-verbal communication. To help my clients resolve emotional challenges, I use a combination of art, play, and sandtray therapy along with mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. This process is an empowering experience that provides a healthy outlet for otherwise overwhelming emotions.
I am committed to creating a customized treatment approach for each individual client. My specialties include helping children and families cope with bereavement, anxiety, selective mutism, encopresis, and aliyah adjustment. I also see clients with behavior issues, ADHD, and learning disabilities.
I am a licensed and board-certified art therapist with a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from New York University, and maintain a private practice in Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel. I also supervise art therapists, including those working toward their ATR or board certification. Feel free to contact me to discuss how I may be able to assist you.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
