​“Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.” (Viktor E. Frankl)

I was privileged to have been born in the US on June 3, 1959 to parents who were immigrants from different countries; my father, a Holocaust survivor from Poland, and my mother, a 9th generation Israeli. I received a traditional Jewish education and learned early on how to move between languages, cultures, and traditions.

Although I have found myself manifesting many identities in my life, there is one identity I have never shunned or doubted: that of a “seeker”, a seeker of meaning of my life and meaning in my life. At age 21, I immigrated to Israel, several years later I left for East Asia, where I spent close to 5 years, immersing myself in the languages, martial arts, and philosophical, psychological and spiritual teachings of the East. Much of this wisdom guides me today as well.

I am a senior life coach, group and workshop facilitator since 2003. I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of people over thousands of hours (a member of the Israel Coaches Association and the International Coaching Federation). In recent years, I have been focusing on "Meaning-Centered Coaching," helping people navigate life transitions, crises, and challenges while cultivating hope and connecting to their wisdom along life's journey.

After many years of deeply exploring where my own purpose lies, today I can confidently say that "my passion is my life's work": sharing what I have to empower, guide, support, and assist people in realizing their own potential and purpose in life. I strive to do this through personal coaching, facilitating workshops and groups, and giving lectures on topics dealing with meaning and purpose, the cultivation of personal hope, and strengthening wisdom, including:

Meaning-Centered Coaching (article in Hebrew forthcoming)The "Hope Accelerator" Workshop
Circles of Meaning in Midlife
"Harvesting your Wisdom" – exploring wisdom as we age
Reflections of children of Holocuast survivors in their second half of life (doctoral dissertation)

In my personal life, I enjoy daily walks in nature, trekking, practicing yoga and meditation, learning languages, diving into reflection and writing, learning languages, and endlessly exploring what fascinates me in life. I cherish deep conversations with good people I meet along the way, whether close to home or around the world.

I try to see every new day in my life as an opportunity to discover something I have not yet understood.
