My therapeutic journey commenced with the personal challenges I encountered as a mature man, compelling me to take responsibility for navigating this world. Through his own therapeutic sessions, I discovered profound compassion and self-acceptance, unlocking a wellspring of power, energy, and creativity to confront the complexities of life. The profound "gift" bestowed upon me in therapy ignited a sense of duty to share this transformative experience with others, driven by a commitment to my fellow human beings.
Over the years, my path unfolded as I earned a Bachelor's degree in photography and education, delving into the art of visual storytelling. I immersed myself in the world of photography, capturing moments frozen in time, and dedicated my efforts to teaching youth with disabilities. My exploration extended to the therapeutic realm, with a focus on phototherapy, and culminated in a profound journey of training in social work through a Master's program at Haifa University.
In the therapeutic space, I blend professional knowledge with personal experience. My vision is clear and resonant: to guide you towards a life in greater harmony with yourself and nurture a more fulfilling relationship with your own being. Regardless of the challenges you've faced, I firmly believe that you can embrace a life truly worth living.
