About Me
I am a public speaker, trainer, therapist, coach, and group facilitator with over 30 years of experience supporting personal and collective healing with people of diverse identities, ages and life stories in a vast array of settings. Through transformative, heart-centered talks, trainings and experiential workshops, I help practitioners, organizations, and communities explore pathways toward liberation, connection, and remembrance of belonging.
I weave together healing modalities including IFS, Hakomi, somatic, holistic, and nature-based and anti-oppressive approaches and practices into my work with individuals, groups and organizations. I teach around themes including healing shame and blame, ending oppression, undoing imposter syndrome, transforming loneliness and separation, empowering group facilitation and anti-oppressive practice with youth.
My approach is collaborative, intuitive, attuned to each person’s unique path and rooted in a deep commitment to liberation, connection, and a just, compassionate world.
My formal education includes an MSW from Hunter College and a BA in Social Thought and Political Economy from the University of Massachusetts, with internship in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. 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 humans who inspire me and inform my work are Robin Wall Kimmerer, Gloria Steinem, Asia Suler and Resma Menakeem.
The heart and soul of my work is helping humans reconnect with ourselves, each other, our intuition, our bodies and our natural world. My commitment to ending oppression and healing its effects on our hearts, minds, bodies and systems is interwoven into my practice. Ending and transforming all forms of harm including sexism, racism, classism, antisemitism, islamaphobia, homophobia, language oppression, young peoples’ oppression, mothers’ oppression and all others is essential for our individual and collective healing.
I’d love to support you on your own unique path to healing transformation and the life you most truly desire.
I warmly welcome you to reach out!
