Healing the Heart,
Honoring the Spirit.
For more than 40 years I’ve walked alongside individuals and families as a clinical psychologist, helping them navigate life’s complexities and strengthen the bonds that hold us together—in our homes, schools, and communities.
My path to the rabbinate grew naturally from that lifelong commitment to service. As a rabbi and psychologist, I combine clinical insight with Jewish tradition, and I welcome your ideas and perspectives when we shape meaningful rituals and ceremonies together.
I believe we are all created B’tzelem Elohim — in the image of the Divine. My aim is to help you not just survive life’s transitions but to thrive within them: finding meaning, building community, and cultivating a sacred connection.
Heralding the Moments, Centering the Connection.
I officiate weddings, lead funerals and shivas, celebrate baby namings and bar/bat mitzvahs, and mark other important life-cycle moments. I work with couples across faith backgrounds and offer ceremonies that honor your family’s story and values.
I bring empathy, grounded experience, and a touch of humor to these important occasions. If you’re looking for an officiant who understands both the human heart and Jewish ritual, I’d love to talk.
