Hello and welcome to my page :)

I am a certified psychodramatist, group facilitator, and clinical assistant professor at The School of Creative Art Therapies at the University of Haifa. Previously, head of the Psychodrama & Drama therapy M.A. programs at the University of Haifa, as well as a Neuroscientist. In my private and public practice, my orientation is humanistic and I work with individuals - adults & children - as well as with groups. A board member of the Israeli Psychodrama Association and very much interested in Zen/Buddhism and its association with Psychodrama.

I hold a B.A., M.A. and a Ph.D. (Summa cum laude) in Psychology from the University of Haifa. In my graduate studies, I specialized in Neuroscience (learning and memory). I was then a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University before making a turn in my career, studying and graduating from the Psychodrama department at The Center for Creative-Expressive Therapy at Kibbutzim College in Tel-Aviv. I also graduated from the Psychodynamic Group Facilitation program, at the Continuing Education Unit, Faculty of Social Welfare & Health Sciences, University of Haifa.

My research interests relate to - 

• The relationship between Zen/Buddhism and psychodrama
• Cultivating spontaneity and creativity in group settings
• Role reversal & its associated mental states
• Neurobiological aspects of Psychodrama and action therapies
