About

I am a queer, gender non-binary, neurodivergent independent rabbi and certified professional coach. "Independent" means I do not lead a community, but I participate in many progressive Jewish communities throughout the Seattle area. Being an Independent Rabbi means that I officiate weddings, tutor young people in becoming B-Mitzvah, work with conversion students, 1:1 Jewish learning & Spiritual Direction. It is my job to be in deep thought and reflective conversation with individuals and families around the impactful and joyous times & walking with them along the tricky and sticky path of being human.
