Who I Work With

I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I have a particular affinity for people in a caregiving or healing role—inside a family, a network, or a community—and for people who think and feel through their bodies: dancers, yoga practitioners and teachers, bodyworkers, and anyone who has found that words alone have not reached the place that hurts. I also work with people through conception, birth, and early parenthood, and I offer clinical supervision and consultation to other therapists.

What I Help With

Trauma healing is my specialty: sexual, childhood, developmental, and intergenerational trauma. I also work with communication and relationship difficulty, mood, stress, chronic pain, sleep, and energy flow; with grief and loss; with major life transitions; and with soul-purpose, spiritual practice, and the search for meaning, including religious and spiritual trauma and the recovery of a spiritual life on your own terms. I am passionate about helping heal one's relationship with the masculine, for all of us.

I meet each person with a collaborative spirit, listening for the unique signature of intelligence in each of us to guide the way along your healing path.

How I Work

My approach is somatic and body-centered. Our work may draw on somatic movement therapy, Laban Movement Analysis, Gestalt therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Hakomi-informed practice, trauma-sensitive yoga and yoga therapy, mindfulness and MBSR, dance and improvisational movement, herbalism, and nature-based practice, alongside talk therapy.

I will be here for you as a stable, gentle, patient, embodied, and empathic presence. I will help create trust in yourself and provide tools along the way for whatever is personally needed to emerge inside of you: to regain your balance, to reclaim your authorship, to let go of what needs to be let go, to move toward the life you are being called to.

How my integrative approach wove together from the threads of many lineages.

I stepped onto the healer's path through the arts and social justice, first as a dance researcher and choreographer studying ceremonial dance forms and cultural identity abroad, and later teaching dance, yoga, meditation, and choreography to vulnerable communities.

As an MFA candidate at the University of Utah, I completed the Integrated Movement Studies Laban Movement Analyst Certification program under the tutelage of Peggy Hackney, Ed Groff, and Janis Meaden. That program trained my attention on the smallest movements a person makes, the subtle shifts of face, breath, and posture that carry meaning before words do. Later, I became a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist & Educator. I worked for two years under the mentorship and supervision of Rebecca Stone, LCSW, whose practice draws on Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing therapy, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I received a year of psychoanalytic training at the Training Institute for Mental Health and a year of Gestalt therapy training at Brooklyn College with Sabina Galli. My foundation in Gestalt and Somatic Experiencing came through study with Karin Weidenmueller. Scott Kellogg trained me in his Transformational Chairwork. Dr. Jennifer Chen led my cultural sensitivity training, and I completed a two-year Spiritual Herbalism Apprenticeship with Karen Rose of Sacred Vibes. I had a five-year mentorship with Jillian Pransky, during which I completed a Yoga Therapy Certificate. I have completed multiple trainings in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga and Mindfulness under the lineage of the Trauma Center, and with Chia-Ti Chiu and Lesley Brooker of the Lineage Project. I finished a training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, which reawakened the magic and healing of living in a state of open curiosity toward the moment-to-moment experience. Between 2019 and 2021 I studied with Luisa Harpriya Guigliano, a yoga therapist, women's group facilitator, and poet, completing the Interfaith Ministry certification training at the Dream Hive, which she founded. My current mentors are Susan Feinbloom and Alexandria Lopez, clairvoyant psychotherapists who both hold the lineage of the Berkeley Psychic Institute. I received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College.

My connection to the body, community, and nature.

Growing up in rural coastal Maine, I found nature to be the home of the sacred and a provider of eternal belonging. The sensorial experience of the woods and rocky coastal landscapes helped center me in the stories of my bodily wisdom and a sense of the larger community of nature. My innate medicine has always directed me toward physical movement and dance in times of stress, confusion, or loneliness. At the intersection of somatic research, improvisational movement, eco-feminism, map-making, and environmental psychology, I began place-based studies with Terry Tempest Williams in 2006. This led to community building and environmental change work through public body-based arts projects, such as the four-part series of experiential plant walks I led with my collaborator, Eva Perrotta. In these walks, participants learned about wild urban medicinal plants and deepened their relationship to the sacred wisdom of nature in urban landscapes through specially designed movement scores, experiential anatomy partnering activities, and practices for observing oneself in the external environment. A curiosity for herbalism grew out of this work, which led me to my apprenticeship with Karen Rose. Karen holds the lineage of the Wise Woman Way and the Dagara elder Malidoma Patrice Somé's work with ancestral and indigenous African spirit technologies.

By embodying the land I embody my body. By doing this in community, all my relations are recovered. This nourishes my soul and leads me to the deeper work of my soul longings, integration, and healing.
