​​
All of us may experience a point in our lives in which we feel stuck or overwhelmed.
We may worry extensively, we may have difficulties in making important decisions, fall behind our potential in our career, or experience problems in relationships with other people.
Or we may have troubles adapting in the consequence of a critical life event or traumatic experience.
​
If you find yourself in such a situation, or if you feel that disturbing thoughts, difficult emotions, or unwanted habits are preventing you from living a satisfactory life, I am offering you my professional support.
​
I am a trained and experienced Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapist (CBT) ready to guide you in re-discovering and re-activating your own strengths and resources on your way of positive healing and growth.
​
ABOUT ME
My background and qualifications
As a Clinical Psychologist, I am comprehensively trained and vastly experienced in the treatment of individuals who have developed different levels of depression, other emotional problems, anxiety, intrusive thoughts and unwanted habits (OCD and spectrum), as well as those who experience a crisis after difficult or traumatic life events.
​
I studied Psychology in Hamburg/Germany. In 2012, I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). My dissertation about the consequences of psychological trauma on memory, perception and physiology received summa cum laude distinction.
During and after completing my postgraduate training in Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT), I worked as psychotherapist at different established in- and outpatient facilities in Germany, with a main focus on the treatment of individuals with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and eating disorders, in individual- as well as group-settings.
Together with colleagues from the UKE, I wrote a self-help book for people with OCD (myMetacognitive Training, https://clinical-neuropsychology.de/mymct-ocd-manual-english/) as well as a group manual against depression (DMCT, https://clinical-neuropsychology.de/d-mct-manual-english/).
From 2015 to 2018, I completed my postdoc at Tel Aviv University, Israel with Prof. Reuven Dar.
​
In 2019 I opened my own private practice in Ra'anana and from 2022 to 2023 I completed an additional clinical year at the Reichman University Clinic in Herzeliya (Dr. Yael Apter Levy).
​
I am married with two daughters and live in Ra'anana.

​
WHAT TO EXPECT
How we will work together on a positive change
My approach is "Autobiographic-Systemic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy". This means that the main focus of the coaching or psychotherapy will be on making positive changes in your "here and now life", while at the same time, together, we will seek to understand how current difficulties have developed in the context of your biography and how they affect or are affected by past and current relationships. This will help us to identify and understand significant patterns and, consequently, to learn new ways to deal and cope with difficult situations in order to prevent recurring problems in the future.
​
Importantly, every coaching/psychotherapy will be tailored individually to your specific situation with your personal goals and needs.
​
Among the techniques that I am using in my coaching and therapies (in addition to classic CBT) are elements from Communication and Consulting Psychology (e.g., Four-sides model and work with the "Inner Team" according to Schulz von Thun), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Imagery, and Metacognitive Training (MCT).
​
​
SERVICES I OFFER
LIFE COACHING
I am offering individual coaching in personal sessions in my private practice in Ra'anana or optionally in Central Tel Aviv or via video call.
​
Common concerns that people bring into the coaching situation are, for example, achieving more structure and self-control in everyday life, reaching a better balance between different areas of life (e.g. family, work, self-actualization), learning to communicate clearer and more effectively, gain self-confidence in social situations, or to lead more meaningful and fulfilling relationships. Others may search for professional support in making important life decisions.
​
In a first step, we will identify and specify your personal goals. In a second step, we will evaluate your current situation including your sources of strength and difficulties, your individual biography as well as past and current social environment. The third step will be to apply the knowledge and understanding we have gained and translate it into concrete steps and interventions towards your short-, middle-, and long-term life goals.
Throughout, I will be by your side, offering my professional methods and tools, in order to support you to happily proceed on your individual life path.

INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
I am offering individual psychotherapy in personal sessions at my private practice in Ra'anana or optionally in Central Tel Aviv or via video call.
​
My therapeutic approach, so-called Autobiographic-Systemic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, focuses on making positive changes in your here and now life while at the same time taking into account your individual biography and past and current social relationships.
​
In the beginning, therapy sessions are usually held in a weekly or bi-weekly rhythm. One session has a duration of 50 min. The number of sessions and duration of therapy will be matched to your needs.
​
Together, we will actively work along a therapy plan that will be tailored according to your individual situation, needs, and goals.
​
