About
I am a board-certified specialist in the field of music and voice therapy, licensed by the Israeli Ministry of Health. I hold a Ph.D. from Bar-Ilan University in Israel and have close to 25 years of clinical experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I treat emotional, social, behavioral, developmental, and neurological disorders. I additionally specialize in treating pathological vocal issues that stem from an emotional or physical origin.
I have served as Head of Music Therapy studies, lecturer, and practicum supervisor at the Jerusalem College in Bait Vegan, and have extensive experience working as a therapist and professional staff supervisor with the Israeli Ministry of Health, Education, Defense, Welfare and Social Services. Over the years I have worked in trauma centers, child development centers, special education schools, homes for children at risk, psychiatric hospitals and hostels, facilities for the handicapped, rehabilitation centers for the hearing impaired, community centers for Dementia and Alzheimer's patients, as well as with governmental psychological services, foster care services, wounded soldiers and evacuees.
Today I serve as Director the Lord Taylor Music Therapy Clinic at the David Yellin Academic College of Education in Jerusalem, where I treat clients, provide parent counseling, and clinically supervise professionals and students in the field of music therapy. I additionally lecture, conduct workshops, and instruct healthcare professionals on therapeutically applying music and voice in their practice. I enjoy working with both secular and religious communities.
