My approach to spiritual direction is to listen to people, assist with self reflection and provide the tools for people to reach their “next best step” in their spiritual journey.
My training spans a variety of pastoral care tools, including Prepare Enrich Relationship Assessment, Psychological First Aid (Trauma Informed Support) and as a Grief Support Specialist. I have been a rabbi (spiritual teacher) for seven years, serving all people of all spiritual traditions and non-religious people. I have experience in many counseling environments including jails, hospitals, hospice and in peoples homes, as well as online.
