a safe haven
Culturally Affirming Therapy for Jewish Clients and Allies
Denver · Hawai'i · online across 40+ states
My practice is a welcoming space for all identities and backgrounds, Jewish clients and allies included, never Jewish clients only.
The last three years have felt isolating, terrifying, and stacked with betrayal. Many of us have lost friends or colleagues, felt misunderstood or wrongly accused. Our community means more to us now, perhaps, than it ever has before.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and a Jewish woman. That means you will be welcomed, seen, and understood. I understand our shared intergenerational trauma, interfaith and intercultural partnerships, questions of observance and identity, the weight of inherited expectation, and the specific grief and vigilance we're all navigating.
How I came to this work
Shortly after October 7, a woman came to me for a consultation. We talked warmly and agreed on her goals. Then, she grew tearful and asked whether I would still work with her now that she had told me she is Jewish and a Zionist. Her previous therapist had fired her, and so several others had either refused to work with her or took the opportunity to attack her. A space that should always be sanctuary had been upended. I told her: of course you are welcome here. You are home. I watched the weight lift from her shoulders right there in the room.
In the months that followed came a wave of similar referrals, people carrying isolation, rejection, and fear. Alongside their own goals, the work became a place to name a collective grief. Healing them helped heal me, and it became clear I needed to be a visible safe haven for Jewish clients and allies.
Gesher Community Care
That led me to Gesher Community Care, which connects Jewish individuals to therapists who understand Jewish identity across the spectrum while keeping care affordable. I serve on its Executive Board. The need in our community has never been greater.
