I've been working as a child and family psychologist for 25 years — first in Russia, then here in Israel. Over that time, I've walked through hundreds of stories: anxious kids, confused parents, complicated teens. Each one different — each one matters.
Even as a student, I knew I wanted to work with children. Their world felt so honest and so important. More than twenty-five years later, I still feel the same.
I begin by getting to know the child: what interests them, what worries them, and what is hard to put into words. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes play or a drawing gives us a place to start. I choose the approach around the child and what they need.
I work closely with parents, too. You know your child's everyday life in a way no one else does. Together, we try to understand what is happening and find practical ways to make things easier at home, at school, and with each other.

There's no wrong way to start. Here's the gentle path most families walk with me — one small step at a time.
We start with a free initial conversation. Tell me what's on your mind — no pressure, no forms, just a chance to see if we're a good fit.
When you feel ready, we'll find a time that suits your family. I'll send everything you need beforehand so the first visit feels easy.
We meet, we talk, and I listen. Together we'll begin to understand what's going on and shape a plan that feels right for your child.
Step by step, we notice the changes together. I stay close, adjust as we go, and celebrate every bit of progress along the way.
Thoughts on childhood, parenting and the quiet work of growing up.
