About Me

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Richmond Hill, Ontario who provides child and adolescent therapy, diagnostic assessments, and counseling. I help teens and parents address trauma, behaviour, family conflict and career decisions with clear, practical treatment plans.

Approach

Years of working with children has shaped how I structure sessions: calm, focused, and collaborative, letting assessment and therapy guide each step. In my Richmond Hill office I offer meetings in English, Hebrew or Russian, pacing work to what feels safe for the child or family and setting clear, short-term goals. We use playful techniques with younger children, structured tasks during assessments, and practical parenting strategies between sessions so progress transfers to home and school. Families facing transitions or trauma often find this direction helpful.
