About Me

I deeply trust the power of the healing journey and am passionate about guiding people to trust and follow their own unique path to healing transformation and live beyond their wildest imaginings.

I am an LCSW with decades of experience working with thousands of individuals and groups of diverse identities, ages and life stories in a wide array of settings including personal and professional coaching, therapy, consulting, directing programs in community based organizations, teaching, event planning, ritual creation, transformative decluttering and more. I’ve engaged in an abundance of other work including board leadership, coordinating community building events and projects large and small and deep canvassing across the United States.

My approach is collaborative, intuitive, full of heart. I weave together healing modalities such as IFS, Hakomi and other somatic, nature-based and anti-oppressive practices into my counseling, coaching with individuals and groups and my supervision and professional development with counseling and healing practitioners.

All of my work is rooted in my own lived experience of healing, learning and emerging. I have lived through deeply painful experiences and the full range of emotions that come along with them including feelings of aloneliness, heartache and self-doubt. Choosing to walk through and beyond my personal and ancestral history with all of its scars and gifts, I have experienced a potent world of opening, loving and living and transforming beyond my imaginings.

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. I am ever engaging in professional development and experiential learning including IFS (Internal Family Systems), Hakomi, Nature Based somatic therapies and other trauma and oppression-aware modalities.

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 have inspired and awakened me are Robin Wall Kimmerer, Asia Suler, Resma Menakeem and Gloria Steinem.

The heart and soul of my work is helping humans reconnect with ourselves, each other, our intuition, our bodies and our natural world. My active commitment to ending oppression is interwoven into my practice, as individuals cannot fully heal without healing the systems that are causing harm. I work to undo the effects of oppression, with individuals and systemically, including but not limited to sexism, racism, classism, colonization, antisemitism, islamaphobia, homophobia, transphobia, young peoples’ oppression and ageism.

Among my many passions are connecting with humans, trees, wildflowers, insects (I recently discovered what diverse and amazing beings they are!) travel, abundant laughter and lots of chocolate.

I’d love to support you on your journey to the life you most truly desire. I warmly welcome you to reach out!
