My career as a therapist has connected me deeply to the pain of being human. A long-time human myself, I’ve realized that while suffering is unavoidable, we have an immense capacity to cultivate peace and understanding in the face of difficulty. My role in helping folks navigate these difficulties is to educate and regulate, connecting counselors, leaders, and organizations to resources for inclusivity, emotional wellness, and heart-led practice.

We learn best from the lived experiences of people we trust. My work is to co-create welcoming, compassionate spaces so we can do the brave work of looking closely at ourselves, each other, and our organizations. Topics for this courageous exploration include mental health stigma, anti-racism, and body positivity.
