   I was born and raised in Jerusalem and graduated from the Hebrew University majoring in History and Literature. I then studied community theatre and special education before landing in a graduate program in Expressive Arts Therapy in Netannya. As a student I worked with autistic preschool aged children as well as adults in day treatment, clinic and hospital settings. 
Moving to the Bay Area in 2002, I was an intern at Creative Living Center in Berkeley, an Inpatient adolescent hospital unit in San Francisco and at JSCS in Berkeley. As a newly licensed clinician in 2008, I worked as a staff therapist for a college program for young adults on the autism spectrum.
