I am driven by a lifelong passion for all things creative. To get lost in ink or clay, words or music—this is sacred to me, and I rely on this force in my life.

As a dramatist, I have been creating and performing theater for twenty-five years, appearing with companies such as A Traveling Jewish Theatre and The Marsh in San Francisco. Since 2021, I’ve been touring original solo shows online, reaching audiences around the country. My current offering, Body of Water, is a tale about wrestling with life’s limitations.  

I write the newsletter A Thousand Pieces on Substack and will soon be releasing Unbound, a dance film I’m directing that brings together twenty people living with ME/CFS and/or long COVID.

My creative work has received funding from Interfaith America, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and Alliance for Jewish Theatre. I am a Janavi Held Endowed Poetry & Art Grant recipient.

I have led Taizé candlelight services in churches, taught storytelling workshops at seminaries and hospitals, mentored Jewish teenagers, and for many years was a performing singer-songwriter. I currently facilitate a group for artists living with chronic illness.

I am a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Harvard College, and the Graduate Theological Union.

These days I live on a peaceful hillside in Northern California with my husband and two high-personality cats. I listen for owls and coyotes at night, and I try to stay open.
