About My Clients
I work primarily with Jewish clients navigating antisemitism, identity, Israel, Zionism, community, belonging, and changes in trust or safety. I also work with people navigating polyamory and ENM, including couples and polycules. Many of my clients are tired of having to explain or defend important parts of their lives before therapy can get to the actual problem. You don't need to arrive with a polished explanation or know exactly what you want to do. We can start with what is happening.
My Background and Approach
In therapy, we get specific about what is happening: what happened, what you felt, what you did next, what keeps repeating, and where you are getting stuck. I ask questions, offer observations, and sometimes challenge an assumption when I think it may be keeping us from seeing something important. Therapy with me is not generic advice, passive validation, or forced optimism. We may look at patterns in your relationships, family, identity, or community; clarify boundaries and competing needs; or work through a decision that does not have an obvious answer. I will not tell you what political, religious, or relationship outcome you are supposed to reach, but I also will not sit silently while you wrestle with the problem by yourself. Clinically, my work draws from systemic, attachment-informed, psychodynamic, experiential, and trauma-aware approaches. I use those frameworks to understand what is happening and ask better questions, not to fit you into a theory.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m not Jewish. I am Zionist and closely connected to Jewish life through family, ongoing study, and community involvement. I share that plainly because clients should not have to guess where their therapist stands on something that may be central to why they are seeking therapy. My connection gives me context, but it does not make me the authority on your Jewish experience. I’m also polyamorous and have direct experience navigating non-monogamous relationships. That means you usually will not need to teach me the basic ENM vocabulary or defend your relationship structure before we can talk about the actual problem. My relationships are not a model for yours, and I will not assume non-monogamy is either the problem or the solution.
