  Art Therapist

  In the summer of 2021 together with my wife and 4 children, we made Aliya and now live in Modiin where I run my private practice. I also have a second practice based in Jerusalem. To keep up to date with the education system I also teach art at a private school in Rishon Le Zion.I see clients one to one, and provide them with a safe space, to express their thoughts and feelings either verbally or through the medium of Art. At times I will ask probing questions to help clarify matters, or to try and explore themes or topics which require further investigation. My goal in therapy is to help clients to make sense of their thoughts and feelings, and then to help them to explore ways in which they can make practical changes in their lives to help them to thrive.Each session is non-directive, allowing my clients to lead each session choosing whatever materials or mediums they want to use. Some may choose to work with paint or clay, whilst others may simply prefer just to talk.I fundamentally believe that people already know the answers to their own challenges, and it is a Therapist duty, to help a client to unravel the information, and then help them to implement their own solutions. According to my clients, family and friends, one of my main strengths is helping people so see “the wood through the trees”, sifting through people’s experiences and feelings, helping them to clearly see what are the main hurdles they face, where the roots of the problems are, and which branches lead to enlightenment.I also work closely with parents and offer them sessions to ensure that the changes we are making in the child’s behaviour is supported and filtered through to the rest of the family.I predominantly work with children and adolescents and men, and believe that everyone has the right to reach their potential and I would be delighted to assist you or your child in finding the clarity, answers and stratagies you are looking for.
