About My Clients

I’m here to help you know all that is possible for you and clear blocks of self-doubt, fear, shame, grief and other very human emotions and experiences in the way of your nourishing, self-loving and joyful life. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and full of heart and is rooted in my own lived experience of healing, learning and emerging.

My Background and Approach

I’m an LCSW in NY and NC with abundant experience in and passion for working with individuals and groups with decades of practice with individuals and groups of diverse identities, ages and life stories in a wide array of settings. I weave together a range of therapeutic healing modalities including IFS, Hakomi and other somatic, nature-based and anti-oppressive practices. I offer professional development for individuals and organizations around themes including shame, group facilitation, supervision, giving and receiving feedback, empowering practice with youth, tending to self as a practitioner and trauma-informed and oppression-informed therapy. The heart of my work is helping humans reconnect with themselves, each other and the natural world to enable deep individual and collective healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In addition to my formal education, my informal education has been vast and varied with countless teachers, mentors, and healers of all ages and backgrounds. I have learned as much from those I have taught and counseled as from those who have taught and counseled me. Among the many who inspire and awaken me are Robin Wall Kimmerer, Resma Menakeem, Gloria Steinem and Asia Suler. Among my many passions are connecting with humans, trees, wildflowers, sheep, travel, abundant laughter, tears when needed, and lots of chocolate!
