I got married at what I consider to be the young age of 22, fulfilling a destiny that was clearly delineated for me throughout my religious, Jewish upbringing.   Ten years, four moves, two countries and 3 kids later, I found myself in Florida, divorced and baffled about how I gotten here (both existentially and geographically) and confused about what to do next.  I went back to school to get my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Expressive Arts Therapy (more on what that is here) to realize my dream of pursuing a career that combined social contribution, creative expression and personal development.  

​

With my degree in hand, along with an accumulation of experience and trainings in education, program development, music, creative movement, dance, yoga, meditation, and trauma-informed practice, I started thinking about how I was going to put it all together.  During that time, the number of divorce people around me began to grow exponentially, and I became aware of how limited the resources are which openly address the various challenges that I, and the many others I talked to, experienced.   And so, A (re)creative life was born.

SELF-AWARENESS TOWARDS WELLNESS​

​

My therapeutic practice is built around helping my clients, which include adults, children and families, connect to their own inner resources, find healthy perceptions of themselves and discover transformation.   I approach emotional healing with a creative mind and focus on self-loving ways to process emotional pain, mindful somatic attention, positive goal setting, innovative wellness practices, and inspiring tools for cognitive and emotional re-patterning.

​

I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, so I utilize a variety of techniques, therapeutic approaches and a broad range of creative modalities, to facilitate solution-focused healing, trauma resolution, positive change and personal growth. 

​

I also understand the realities and constraints of everyday life which might make it difficult or challenging to seek therapy (for yourself and/or children), so I offer online coaching, via phone or video chat.   

​

I believe in every individual's innate capacity to heal, and seek a path towards discovery and transformation, lined with dignity, respect, trust, creativity and open-minded exploration.

I specialize in the following areas:

• divorce issues 

• child or adolescent

• parenting

• coping skills

• anxiety

• trauma resolution

• stress related disorders

• prevention and wellness

• life transitions and empowerment

• self esteem

• religious trauma 

• mind/body connection
