About Me

After moving to Israel as a young child from the United States, I grew up in a very natural environment in Israel – Emek Izrael. Going outdoors to gain strength was part of my path ever since I was very young.

After a change during my studies, I knew I wanted to study more about how being in connection with the rest of the natural world can help me find an individual wholeness, sense of well-being, belonging, and greater purpose. Through Ecotherapy I found it.

After gaining experience through working with groups and individuals in nature, I feel that I’m deeply inspired by my Ecotherapy studies (Karkur Holistic-Therapy College). I have learned how to create significant anchors in nature, while integrated with psychotherapy-based treatments.

Today, for me, time outdoors is sacred whether I spend it by myself or with other people. Going for a walk, a multiple-day hike in the north or the desert, and even swimming at the sea.

I also enjoy dancing capoeira, creating music, and cooking healthy meals.
