I am a board-certified specialist in the field of music and voice therapy (PhD, LCAT, MT-BC), licensed by the Israeli Ministry of Health. I hold a PhD from Bar-Ilan University in Israel in the field and have 25 years of extensive clinical experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I treat emotional, social, developmental, and neurological disorders. I additionally specialize in treating pathological vocal issues that stem from an emotional or physical origin. I have had the honor of being awarded the President's Scholarship for Outstanding Doctoral Candidates from Bar-Ilan University, in addition to the Fellowship for Excellence in Academic and Clinical Achievement in Music Therapy from the UJIA (United Jewish Israel Appeal).
I have served as Head of Music Therapy studies, lecturer, and practicum supervisor at the Jerusalem College in Bayit 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 evacuees, wounded soldiers, foster care services, and with governmental psychological services.
Following my appointment by a distinguished committee, I have served for over two decades as Director of the Lord Taylor Music & Voice Therapy Clinic, a unique initiative of the UJIA Bench & Bar Committee at the David Yellin Academic College of Education in Jerusalem. My work encompasses clinical practice, parent guidance, and the supervision of music therapy professionals and students. In addition, I lecture, facilitate workshops, and train healthcare professionals in the therapeutic application of music and voice within their clinical work. I value the opportunity to work with individuals and communities from diverse backgrounds, including both secular and religious populations.
