About me

I have extensive experience working with teenagers, helping them navigate a wide range of challenges. These include self-esteem issues, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, addiction, relationship struggles, communication difficulties, family conflict, lack of motivation, and academic underperformance. I offer both individual therapy for teens and family therapy sessions that bring parents into the process to foster healing and growth.

In my work with parents, I focus on equipping them with practical tools, such as effective communication strategies, setting appropriate boundaries, and implementing meaningful consequences. I also work with families to create a safe and supportive home environment aimed at reducing self-harm, suicidal ideation, and teen addiction.

It's been a blessing to work with someone as kind, supportive and thoughtful as Dvorah. She has helped me so much in a relatively short time, and that's because of her wealth of experience and gentle manner. I feel heard, understood and respected, and I always enjoy our sessions. Dvorah also keeps in touch outside of therapy sessions, and her weekly 'newsletter' messages are the cherry on top!

Dvorah is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She consistently helps me think outside the box and asks thought-provoking questions that challenge me to grow. Dvorah is an incredibly attentive listener, always creating a safe space where I feel understood and valued. Apart from that, she is also a super sweet and caring person, making every session feel like a conversation with a trusted friend. I leave each session feeling supported and motivated. I'm forever grateful for Dvorah's guidance.

Dvorah has a really calming energy and presence which automatically makes it feel like I can trust her right away. She's open, listens, asks questions and doesn't make me feel judged which I think was the most important thing. When I ask her for very specific advice, she gives it. She's incredibly pro-active about reading my messages and responding with lots of useful articles, podcasts, tips. I really appreciate having her there as my rock and support.

I am new to therapy - and I wasn't quite sure what to expect, however having spoken and currently working with Dvorah, she has allowed me to understand how therapy can support the issues I face in my daily life. She is attentive, supportive and provides a realistic approach to how I can better myself through therapy - and it has been wonderful so far.

Thank you Dvorah - you are certainly helping me become better each day.

Dvorah has such an incredibly calming way of speaking. She actively listens and genuinely cares for her clients. I think the only negative thing I have to say about her is that her time zone doesn’t line up well with mine, but she is just fantastic.
