a safe haven
Culturally Affirming Care for Jewish Clients & Allies
Denver · Hawaiʻi · online across 40+ states
My practice is a welcoming space for all identities and backgrounds.
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. 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, Jewish joy and cultural celebrations, questions of observance and identity, and the specific grief and vigilance we're all navigating.
Why this work, and why now
After October 7, Jewish clients began reaching out to me with strikingly similar stories. Alongside their goals for their relationships, families, and work, they carried something heavier: a loneliness that was hard to name, the strain of second-guessing what they said or wore, and fears their grandparents would have recognized. Some had even been turned away, judged, or chastised by their own therapists, in the one room that should always be a sanctuary.
What I was hearing was more than personal pain. It was a collective grief, felt by Jewish families and by the partners and allies who love them. Our tradition has always understood this: the prayer for healing is spoken in the plural, refa’einu (רפאנו), heal us, because we were never meant to heal alone.
When that grief is named and met with understanding, people breathe more freely, reconnect with what they love, and begin to find their footing again. Whatever your level of observance, your politics, or your relationship to Israel, you deserve that understanding.
It became clear that our community needs visible safe havens, and that I am called to be one.
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 am an affordable-care Gesher therapist and also serve on its Executive Board. The need in our community has never been greater.
