Why I chose to become a clinical Social Worker
My decision to become a therapist stems from my genuine love for people and the deep sense of purpose I find in being part of the meaningful transformations they go through.
The diversity within my work keeps me inspired. I value the opportunity to engage with a wide range of life journeys and to provide care for those who may struggle to find a place where they feel truly seen, understood, and supported – especially when their identities or relationships are often met with judgment, misconceptions, or a lack of awareness about what they are navigating.
Let’s talk
For me, it is a tremendous privilege to help people better understand themselves and enhance the quality of their emotional and social lives. I believe strongly that everyone deserves to live in harmony with themselves and with those around them, which is why I offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual and to diverse communities.
I invite you to reach out to schedule an initial consultation and begin your journey toward meaningful change and growth!
Background & Education
I began my clinical education with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, specializing in individual therapy, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After completing my degree, I started working in the public welfare system as a Family Program Coordinator, providing both group and individual interventions.
Shortly afterward, I also became the coordinator of the “Hand in Hand” program, where I worked with individuals, couples, and families at the local social services office.
After completing my bachelor’s degree, I founded the Center for Alternative Sexuality (yahasim.org.il), a non-profit organization dedicated to BDSM, fetish, consensual non-monogamy, and other marginalized relationship and sexuality communities. In establishing the center, I developed and ran a wide range of projects, including a support line for individuals coping with sexual harm, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and other challenges related to BDSM, fetish, and non-monogamous lifestyles. I also created training programs for therapists working with these populations, facilitator training and community dialogue circles, educational outreach within the communities themselves, professional workshops for clinicians and educators, and the certification and supervision of Dungeon Monitors (DMs) who provide safety oversight and respond to sexual-harm risks at BDSM-oriented events.
Alongside my work and the establishment of the Center, I also began a two-year training program in human sexuality and group facilitation for sex education at Open Door.
After completing the Open Door program, I continued on to a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in direct practice with a focus on family therapy.
I then entered the three-year advanced training program in sex therapy and couple and family therapy at the Rotem Center and Hadassah Medical Center.
In 2024–2025, I have been working on a series of booklets titled “Mastering the Material,” which provide an in-depth introduction to the world of BDSM. The series includes explanations of consent practices, BDSM dynamics and techniques, how to enter the BDSM world, BDSM and stigma, BDSM and psychology, and BDSM and trauma.
