Empowering Growth & Sharing Knowledge

As a Jewish immigrant and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to my consulting work. Born and raised in Israel to Soviet Jewish parents, I immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 10.

I am currently working toward my AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation and am in the dissertation phase of my PhD in Depth Psychology.

My clinical, academic, and supervisory work are deeply informed by a lifelong engagement with cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and collective healing.

My doctoral research explores cultural complexes within the Russian-speaking Jewish community, with a specific focus on the intergenerational impact of antisemitism. I examine the epigenetic and social transmission of collective trauma, drawing from depth psychological, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed frameworks.

Consultation Offerings

Working with Jewish Clients and Communities

Working with First-Generation Americans and Child Immigrants

With both lived experience and academic training in the history and psychology of antisemitism, I offer nuanced consultation on working with Jewish clients across backgrounds—from secular to Orthodox, from Israeli to Russian-speaking diaspora communities. I help clinicians develop cultural humility and a deeper understanding of the diversity within Jewish identity, the historical trauma of Jewish persecution, and how antisemitism continues to impact mental health today. This includes support for clinicians working through their own countertransference and cultural questions as they relate to Jewish identity, power, safety, and belonging.

Working with First-Generation Americans and Child Immigrants

As a child immigrant myself, I bring a deeply informed perspective on the psychological complexities faced by first-generation Americans and those who immigrated at a young age. My consultation supports clinicians in understanding the often invisible emotional labor of navigating two (or more) cultural worlds. This includes exploring the tension between collectivist family values and the individualistic norms of mainstream U.S. culture, as well as the internal conflicts, role reversals, and identity fragmentation that can arise in the process of assimilation. I help clinicians recognize how these dynamics show up in the therapy room and how to hold space for bicultural identity, belonging, and grief.

Intergenerational and Epigenetic Trauma

Depth Psychology and Psychodynamic Case Consultation

Drawing from current research and clinical practice, I offer training and consultation on how trauma is transmitted across generations—both biologically and psychologically. This includes support in exploring collective trauma, family legacies, and how these dynamics can be integrated into therapeutic work with individuals and families.

Depth Psychology and Psychodynamic Case Consultation

Grounded in depth psychological theory, I assist clinicians with case conceptualization and treatment planning using psychodynamic, relational, and symbolic approaches. My consultations are ideal for those wanting to integrate unconscious processes, cultural meaning-making, and intergenerational patterns into their clinical work.
