My work with couples has started years ago in Israel, my country of origin, hence, I am a bi-lengual psychotherapist working in English and Hebrew . I moved to California in 1991, I was trained in using various approaches to psychotherapy. In the last 15 years my approach is based on psychodynamic understanding of Human deveopment and my training in couples work was facilitated by the Gottman institite. In working with couples I enphasize communication and help enhancing listening skills along with conflict resolution. I bring my own values to meeting my couples: marriage is a difficult road that two people chose to take not without bumps and hurtles. Two people are joining their souls and backgrounds and need to work out their diffrences along the ride. I believe that the hard work of getting to know each other with compassion and understanding is the road to successful marriage and happy family life.
