Who I am, what I do, and why I do it
Once you see, you can't unsee
If you have recognized the workings of belief-based systems: how they weaponize humans' emotional needs to recruit followers and engineer their minds, you've acquired immunity to the illusion.
Hi, I’m Malka; I’m pleased to meet you
What brought you here?
You may be a grounded freethinker who refuses to settle for a functional baseline and is continuously striving to become a better version of yourself. You may be navigating the disorienting exhaustion of leaving faith and healing from spiritual abuse. Or you may be carrying the emotional load of maintaining a relationship with a loved one trapped in an irrational belief system.
How we can work together
In my practice, we use evolutionary and existential frameworks to outsmart your inherited defaults and gradually improve your everyday reality. For those leaving dogmatic environments, we work through the cognitive and emotional trauma, gradually loosen conditioned patterns, and develop your ture self. For those with entangled loved ones, we build the emotional containment and strategic communication skills necessary to sustain connection without compromising your own sanity. With seasoned atheists, we explore the endless possibilities for growth as autonomous, intelligent human beings.
My practice is an inclusive space

My academic and clinical training
What my background means for our work
Rooted in a psychoanalytic orientation, I am trained in depth approaches that integrate unconscious processes, developmental dynamics, and relational theories. I don’t believe in shortcuts or instant solutions, and instead swear by the patient, deliberate work of structural change. My grounding in biology reassures me that nothing organic transforms overnight; shaping new mental patterns takes time, care, and repetition. Practicing in different therapeutic frameworks, especially psychoanalysis and existential inquiry, has provided me with a diverse set of tools for this mission. They allow me to tailor my approach to your uniqueness, always anchored in evidence-based practice.
Because knowledge alone is not enough
Of course, theoretical knowledge alone does not cultivate skill; experience does. Over the years, I honed mine through diverse clinical and research adventures, collaborating on national and international projects on mental health and well-being. In my private practice, I have had the privilege of sharing my time with a colorful spectrum of minds, from high-performing professionals to individuals seeking to rebuild their lives after profound challenges.
