Elizabeth is queer Jewish neurospicy therapeutic ritualist & mother, born and raised in New York City. Her developmental and educational experiences were embedded within multicultural environments, which contributed to an early and sustained engagement with marginalized communities. She graduated with a Masters in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College in New York City in 2014. She completed her undergraduate studies in Psychology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009. She is a certified Yoga Teacher and Master Level Reiki Practitioner and Alchemical Healing Practitioner. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and clinical supervisor.
Elizabeth has over a decade of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities in navigating mental health challenges and the enduring impacts of trauma. She maintains a strong commitment to decolonizing her therapeutic practice and advancing equity in mental health care. Her work centers on supporting those impacted by systemic oppression in contextualizing their experiences, strengthening resilience, and engaging in meaningful, culturally responsive, whole-person healing.
Elizabeth is the steward of The Sanctuary and Red Tent in Eugene, where she facilitates circles, workshops, and immersive courses. These offerings explore themes of feminine empowerment and initiation, ritual and self-compassion, grief work, shadow integration, and the reclamation of imagination as a pathway for personal and collective transformation.
Elizabeth completed a vision fast in Death Valley, Nevada in 2015 as a personal initiation connecting her deeper to herself, her earth mother, and the Great Mystery. Rites of the Heart was part of the medicine received during her time on the land. Elizabeth later spent six years as a guide supporting wilderness-based rites of passage for adolescents, supporting youth navigating connection to self, connection to spirit, and connection to the natural world.
Elizabeth draws inspiration from her ancestral spiritual teachings and technologies. She is deeply committed to the reclamation of meaningful rites of passage, and the creation of inclusive, accessible approaches to spirituality and healing.
