I’m here to help you discover what you already know

As a clergy coach, I view my sacred role as walking alongside you—whether you’re considering your next professional move, navigating the complexities of congregational leadership, or simply trying to reconnect with your sense of purpose and calling. Having served in the pulpit myself, I understand how lonely, demanding, and profoundly meaningful this journey can be.

The insight we seek is already present, waiting to be felt and heard

My coaching is grounded in the belief that you are whole, resourceful, and wise. Together, we create a space where you can listen deeply to your mind, heart, and body. We don’t just talk about the challenges; we slow down enough to feel what’s happening in the moment. Sometimes, this means pausing to notice where tension lives in your shoulders, or what sensations arise when faced with a difficult decision. The body holds so much unspoken truth, waiting to be acknowledged and understood.

I am a “guide on the side”

Whether you are preparing for a career transition, experiencing burnout, or facing a complex leadership dilemma, my approach is not to provide solutions but to accompany you with curiosity and compassion. I reflect what I observe and sense, offering questions that open doors, and help you reconnect with the values and vision that initially inspired you to pursue this work.

Integrate head and heart, intellect and intuition 

Our work together may incorporate somatic tools, Jewish spiritual wisdom, leadership frameworks, and your own lived experience.  Together, we will explore how to embody authenticity, resilience, and integrity in your leadership and life.

Ultimately, coaching is a space for you to reconnect with yourself—more grounded, more empowered, and more in tune with your inner compass. I’m here to guide you in that sacred journey.

“She met their concerns with empathy and understanding. . .”

Rabbi Leider served as a Career Search Coach for her rabbinic colleagues by being a listening ear, making pastoral outreach calls during stressful interview processes, and serving as a liaison to me.  The feedback I received from her clients was consistently positive. She met their concerns with empathy and understanding, and each person felt supported by their conversations. She supported rabbis both pastorally and practically through the job search and transition process with care and consideration.
