She helps high-functioning individuals, couples, and professionals not only heal from emotional overload—but also expand into more aligned, connected, and purposeful living.


Blending brain-based modalities like Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS) with somatic work and Torah wisdom, Chaya supports clients in decluttering their inner world, regulating their nervous system, and stepping into their full potential—personally, spiritually, and professionally. Her work empowers people to lead with clarity, live with intention, and love with a full heart.

Chaya is also the creator of ParshaRx: Mental Health Prescriptions from the Weekly Torah Portion, a video and blog series where she distills powerful insights from Torah into accessible, soul-nourishing tools for emotional resilience.


With over 30 years of experience walking alongside people through birth, loss, trauma, aging, addiction, and healing, Chaya brings grounded presence, humor, and soul to every interaction. She is a living kidney donor, wife to Seth, mother of five grown children, and “Bobbi” to her 18-month-old grandson. Clients describe Chaya as spiritually attuned, easy to talk to, and refreshingly real.
