About Me

Hi, I'm Tzipora. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist. I have over fifteen years experience working with adults, families, children, and teens. I currently work with clients ages 16+ coming to therapy for a range of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, and chronic pain.
In addition to my private practice I have spent over a decade working in the public sector offering therapy, case management, therapeutic work with parents, and short-term crisis intervention. I also provide supervision to other therapists in the field. Outside the therapy room I love a good TV series, a quality book, and swimming in the ocean.

Chronic Pain

After a decade working as a therapist primarily focused on trauma, a personal experience with chronic pain took me in an unexpected direction to understand more about the physiology of pain. Today one of my primary areas of focus is in treating chronic pain through a neurobiological lens. Integrating cutting edge research and treatments for pain within the context of a therapeutic relationship can significantly reduce and often eliminate symptoms.In addition to other therapies that incorporate the body, I am trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), an evidence-based treatment for chronic pain and other stress related symptoms.
Treatment is highly individualized, understanding each client's pain experience, and collaborating to loosen the patterns sustaining the pain-fear cycle. If you suffer from chronic pain or other unexplained physical symptoms, you are likely a candidate for Pain Reprocessing Therapy, an evidence based method to rewire your brain and get out of pain. If it sounds too good to be true, I've been there.

Therapy

People begin therapy from many different places. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating tricky relationships, or feel the weight of unresolved baggage from your past, therapy can be a supportive and powerful tool. Therapy offers a meaningful space to deepen your understanding of yourself, identify where and why you're feeling stuck, and move toward the change you're seeking.I view therapy as a collaboration: I bring the expertise of my training and clinical experience, while you bring the expertise of knowing yourself as no one else can. Together, we make sense of what’s happening and work toward your goals.I am trained in psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and mind-body approaches (including Somatic Experience, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga). Each course of therapy is highly individualized, and together we navigate what different modalities can offer you.While each person's path is unique, at the conclusion of therapy my clients consistently describe feeling deeper self-compassion and more authentically aligned with themselves.
