Pastoral Counselor, MAHL, CPE

San Mateo, CA 94401
(650) 860-4187
Let's Connect (650) 860-4187
Our programs and offerings, focused on human and pet loss, can help to normalize your grief, and to make it more bearable and less isolating through a variety of modalities designed to make you feel safe, supported, and accompanied. Our work is open and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, and disabilities. Without judgment of you or your grieving process, religiosity, or any agenda, and with deep compassion, skill, confidentiality, and 29 years of combined education, training, and experience as a grief counselor and rabbi, I hope through our time together you will find the care you need and expect.
We employ a spiritual as well as nature and equine based approach to grief and pastoral work. While I do offer traditional phone/Zoom and in-person sessions, it is especially powerful to be supported through a connection to the beauty and cycles of nature, and the special benefits of equine interaction.
In working with a trained and experienced counselor and the ironclad confidentiality of clergy, you may find that: you are able to express emotions and ideas you cannot in other arenas of your life, release accumulated stress knowing that your emotions, or even lack thereof, and other grief responses are normal, feel accompanied, and be your authentic self.
