Areas of Expertise
Spiritual Counseling
Using deep intuitive listening, I will hear you and meet you where you are and will walk with you in your joy, pain, sorrow and fear. In our sessions, sometimes I will use meditation, prayer and when helpful will share wisdom from our sacred texts and tradition. We can also use rituals to mark transitions, positive milestones as well as loss. If desired, together we can create a personal spiritual practice which can aid in healing and personal growth.
Support for Issues of Sexual and Gender Identity, Illness, Dying, Death, Grief, and Bereavement.
As a rabbi that practices a Judaism fueled by love, I embrace all people as created in the image of GD, and especially advocate for those who are marginalized, pre-judged or experience discrimination. I have a specialized focus in working with issues of sexual and gender identity, illness, dying, death, grief, and bereavement.
Rabbinic Services
Of course, I can always connect you with a spiritual community. As one of the Rabbis of Congregation Simchat HaLev in Woodbury, NY, I can arrange for rabbinic services such as officiating at Celebrations of Birth, Brit Mitzvah and Marriage. When needed, I will make visits for prayer and comfort to hospitals, hospices, and GD forbid, at the time of death, can be available to officiate at the funeral.
