Healing intergenerational trauma and teaching nervous system regulation through therapy, education, and groups.
Welcome!
There’s a particular kind of anxiety that comes with being Jewish.
With the recent rise in antisemitism and antisemitic incidents, Help For Anxious Jews offers support for Jews across the spectrum—from deeply observant to deeply skeptical—who feel overwhelmed by the weight of the world, the ache of ancestral trauma, and the pressure to hold it all together.
-
Because even if our observance or identification differs, our worry is shared.
-
The concern for humanity.
-
The worry for Jews.
-
The history that's been triggered.

The frustration that non-Jews just don’t understand.
You don't feel safe.
Since October 7th, Jewish anxiety has skyrocketed—insomnia, hypervigilance, isolation, and fear of being visibly Jewish.
More than half of America’s 7 million Jews report experiencing antisemitism. Over one million report clinical anxiety symptoms.
This is current events layered with what our nervous systems carry, personally, historically, and collectively.
Trauma is passed down genetically. From modern antisemitism and intergenerational wounds—pogroms, Holocaust, displacement.
Yet there are almost no spaces where Jews are explicitly invited to name this and heal it.
Overwhelmed with the news.
You've been obsessively reading or watching the news, mind racing from the reports of protests and rising derogatory comments about your people.
Your friends, neighbors, and colleagues just don’t seem to get it.
You are angry at political leaders.
You also appreciate that Israel is the only place in the middle east that has been safe for LGBTQ rights. Also, that in Israel women have the freedom to be pro-choice.
And then, even when you try to stop reading the news or pull away from social media, you feel nauseated by upsetting articles, emails, posts or stories from news outlets, institutions, colleagues, professionals, artists, and influencers you once respected.
Or worse: There has been complete silence.
The need to feel seen, heard, and understood is real.
Clients consistently say they feel safe in our Jewish space, even when participants don’t agree politically.
If you identify as anxious and Jewish, we are here for you.
It feels like the world has gone insane.
Become a calmer Jew
I started Help for Anxious Jews in October 2023 with a focus on intergenerational, intersectional, and somatic trauma healing.
If you identify as Jewish and anxious—we are here for you.
We use evidence-based therapies like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to heal trauma, including inherited Holocaust and pogrom trauma.
Nervous system regulation allows Jews to respond wisely instead of reacting to threats on social media or a swastika on campus.
For many clients, this is the first time they’ve had permission to name antisemitism—and feel it taken seriously.
Our goal is simple: to help Jews move from oy to joy—from chronic vigilance to regulation, creativity, and agency.
