About Maayan

Me and my approach

As both a therapist and a parent, I understand how layered and demanding life can feel - especially during periods of transition. I have a particular interest in the emotional realities that often go unspoken, especially around parenting and modern life.

​

My work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational therapy. My approach helps you understand your own patterns and the connection between past and present experiences - we repeat what we don't repair. 

 

Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I bring an authentic, engaged, and relational style to the work. I value the relationships with my clients and aim to create a space that feels both supportive and honest, where real growth can happen.
