I am a seasoned clinical and medical psychologist who worked in many settings with different populations. I am now mostly in private practice and I try to use my time for writing. Among others, I was lucky to work with autistic adolescents, bereaved parents, students of art and design. I am also a certified sex therapist practitioner of hypnosis. My personal web-site, which includes some of my articles can be found at www.therapy.co.il.

I am a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (M.A. cum laude) and of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Psy.D). I am a founding member and former chairman of The Israeli Association of Sex Therapy. I am on the board of directors of www.trastherapy.org. I have published in professional journals articles on sexuality, psychology of religion and creativity.
