No. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all backgrounds—Jewish, non-Jewish, interfaith, secular, religious, questioning, or still figuring things out.
My role is not to assess belief or affiliation, but to offer care, guidance, and meaningful ritual that meets people where they are.
Yes. I am happy to officiate weddings for couples visiting Seattle, whether you are seeking a fully personalized ceremony or something simple and elegant.
Some couples want a ceremony deeply shaped by their story, values, and traditions. Others prefer a brief, thoughtfully crafted ceremony that honors the moment without extensive planning. Both are meaningful—and both are welcome.
I work with couples of all backgrounds, including Jewish, non-Jewish, interfaith, secular, non-religious, and LGBTQIA+ couples, and will meet you where you are to create a ceremony that feels right for you. I am also happy to handle the filing of required marriage paperwork, so you can focus on the moment itself.
Yes. I work with youth, adults, and families to create meaningful coming-of-age ceremonies rooted in Jewish culture, values, and personal commitment.
Some people mark this moment at 13. Others come to it later in life—sometimes much later. Whether at 13 or 93, this process is about choosing connection, learning, and responsibility in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
Each journey is shaped collaboratively and may include study, reflection, creative projects, ethical exploration, and ceremony.
Yes. I create ceremonies that are secular, non-theistic, and human-centered, as well as ceremonies that draw from Jewish tradition, other cultural or spiritual practices, and shared human values.
Some people want explicitly Jewish language. Others prefer a fully secular framework. Many seek a thoughtful blend that honors multiple backgrounds or worldviews. Together, we decide what language, symbols, and rituals feel authentic and meaningful for you.
There is no expectation to believe, say, or perform anything that does not align with your values.
Absolutely. I joyfully and affirmingly work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families.
This includes weddings and commitment ceremonies, coming-of-age ceremonies, pastoral care, end-of-life rituals, and support for individuals and families navigating gender or identity transitions.
Your identity is not something to be explained or accommodated—it is respected.
Ceremonies can take place in many settings, including homes, outdoor spaces, event venues, community spaces, or other meaningful locations. I am happy to travel to you, whether you live in the Seattle area or elsewhere. I am legally endorsed to officiate in all 50 states.
I also offer pop-up gatherings and services for Shabbat, holidays, and life-cycle moments.
Location is part of the conversation, not a limitation.
I offer pastoral and chaplaincy care for individuals and families navigating grief, illness, caregiving, transition, questions of meaning, or life change.
This work is grounded in listening, presence, and ethical reflection rather than doctrine. Support may be short-term or ongoing, depending on your needs.
The first step is a simple conversation. You are welcome to reach out with questions, ideas, or uncertainty.
There is no obligation—just an opportunity to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
That is completely okay. Many people begin with uncertainty.
Part of my role is to help clarify what matters to you and what would feel meaningful, without pressure or assumptions.
