Hey There, I'm Talia.

I'm a licensed psychologist working in the fields of sports, performance, and physical activity. I support people journeying toward a quiet place within, from which we can build resilience, manage stress, and achieve authentic confidence and a grounded sense of self.
I work with athletes and sports teams at different levels and from a wide range of disciplines, parents of athletes, coaches, exercisers, students, lecturers, entrepreneurs, and various professionals. My clinics are in Jerusalem and Raanana, and I also work through Zoom with individuals from around the country and world. 
My personal journey as an athlete began at the age of five; I was a gymnast, basketball player and swimmer in the United States and Israel. My professional and athletic experience along with the many years I worked as a fitness trainer, built in me a deep awareness of the rewards and challenges uncovered during the body and minds' journeys. My goal is to support individuals in the development of their skills so they can increase enjoyment, minimize difficulties, and make the changes necessary to advance toward a  place of synergy between body and mind. 
My approach is holistic; I look at how all areas of life are interrelated. Our work together will strengthen your self-regulatory abilities and support your moving through life's challenges with more equanimity. The techniques and strategies I share with my athlete clients, which help guide them back to a centered space of calm during high-level competitions, can also benefit anyone experiencing stress or other challenges in their personal lives.
