I received my Ph.D. in philosophy and M.A. in Psychology in 1989 from the University of Michigan, USA. After working and publishing for several years in the field of philosophy of psychology, I switched (in 1992) to philosophical practice and started practicing philosophical counseling.
In 1994 I initiated, and co-organized with Dr. Lou Marinoff, the first International Conference on Philosophical Counseling in Vancouver, Canada.
In 1995 I edited the first book in the English language in the field (Essays on Philosophical Counseling).
In June of 2005 I organized, together with Jose Barrientos, the First International Philosophical Retreat on Contemplatice Philosophy. It took place in Chipiona, Spain. Participants included philosophical practitioners from 8 countries.
For the past 13 years I have been teaching one semester a year at Haifa University in Israel, including courses in Philosophical Counseling. During the rest of the year I live in rural Vermont, USA.
In recent years I have given numerous lectures and workshops in a number of countries. I am grateful to my friends around the world for giving me the opportunity to visit their universities and countries.

For me the emphasis in counseling is on the need for a holistic approach; addressing the more challenging and difficult issues (including issues of identity) and carrying the process through until true answers are reached; dialogism – getting to know the person facing me, and establishing a discourse between her personal and cultural baggage, and my own; focusing on the details with an eye to the goal, always keeping in mind a solution that is workable, attuned to the here-and-now – one that is capable of taking the organization and the individual forward, towards the realization of their aims.
I bring to the relationship with the counselee over 20 years of professional experience – the fruit of in-depth encounters with diverse worlds and cultures. Within the world of business-technology I have extensive experience in accompanying processes of growth of companies and organizations. I have been both partner in such enterprises, in the fields of finance, marketing, and business development in various start-up firms, and consultant in the field of change management in major international financial institutions. In the third sector (NGO's) I have worked extensively with individuals and organizations, with a focus on enhancing their management practices and strategies. My exposure to different cultures over years spent living in the US. and England completes this multi-faceted profile.
I hold an MBA from New York University and a BA in political science and Chinese studies from the Hebrew University.
My professional past includes the following titles:
VP Business Development – Zapper Technologies Ltd., TA, Israel
Senior Consultant, UMT Corp., NY, USA (a management consulting company)
CFO, Ubique Ltd., Rehovot, Israel
