I love being human. The depth of it, the messiness, the beauty, and the unexpected moments of connection that happen when we allow ourselves to be real with one another. I'm naturally curious about people and the many ways we move through life. I love exploring the different dimensions of being human and discovering new possibilities for how we can experience ourselves and the world. I feel most alive in moments of play, intimate connection, and genuine emotional depth. Listening to music, ecstatic dance, hiking in beautiful places, and spending time with animals are some of my other joys. I treasure relationships where we can be fully ourselves, sharing both vulnerability and laughter. But being myself in connection hasn't always come easily. For much of my life, I struggled with shame, self-doubt, and the feeling that something was wrong with me. Thirteen years of living in a dedicated spiritual community, my experience with chronic illness, and years of exploring connection, movement, and somatic practices have profoundly shaped me. Along the way, I've learned to trust myself and move away from the life I thought I was supposed to live, toward one guided by what I love and what feels true to me. One of my most meaningful discoveries was that I could be fully myself in connection with others and be welcomed just as I am. What I love most about my work is being with people in their experience—sharing moments of genuine feeling and witnessing the subtle shifts that happen when someone becomes more connected with themselves. Every person I work with brings something new to my understanding, and I'm passionate about continually learning and becoming more skillful in how I support others. My experiences have taught me not to assume I know what someone needs or where their journey should lead. I value meeting people with curiosity, respect, and openness, allowing space for each person to discover their own way.
