Treatment focus

I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I guide people through life transitions, family and relationship wounds, challenges with communication, mood, stress, chronic pain, sleep and energy flow, as well as grief and loss, soul evolution and spirituality, and healing from sexual, developmental, and intergenerational traumas. I meet each individual with a collaborative spirit, looking to speak deeply with one’s unique signature of intelligence.

How my integrative approach wove together with the threads of many lineages

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

As a 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 where I learned to track the micro-movements in people’s faces and bodies. Later I became a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist & Educator. I worked for two years under the mentorship and supervision of Rebecca Stone, LCSW, who holds the relational, somatic, and body-centered lineages of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing therapy, and Emotion-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. Under the guidance of Karin Weidenmueller I developed a foundation in Gestalt and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I was trained by Scott Kellogg in his Transformational Chairwork. I received cultural sensitivity training under Dr. Jennifer Chen, and completed a 2-year Spiritual Herbalism Apprenticeship with Karen Rose of Sacred Vibes. I had a 5-year mentorship with Jillian Pranksy 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, 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 to the moment-to-moment experience. I was under the mentorship of Luisa Harpriya Guigliano, yoga therapist, women’s group facilitator, and poet who founded the Dream Hive, where I completed an Interfaith Ministry certification training from 2019-2021. I am under the mentorship of Susan Feinbloom and Alexandria Lopez, who both hold the lineages of Berkeley Psychic Institute, and work as a clairvoyant psychotherapists. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Brooklyn College.

My connection to the body, community, and nature

Growing up in rural coastal Maine, nature became 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 towards 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 4-part series of experiential plant walks I led with my collaborator, Eva Perrotta. In these walks participants were guided to learn about wild urban medicinal plants and enhance their relationship to the sacred wisdom of nature in urban landscapes through specially designed movement scores, experiential anatomy partnering activities, and observation skills of one’s self in the external environment. A curiosity for herbalism grew out of this work, which led me to apprenticeship with Karen Rose. Karen holds the lineage of the Wise Women Way and the Dagara elder Maldoma 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 deeper work of my soul longings, integration, and healing.
