I bring a tapestry of life experiences and skills that inform and guide how I support your inner work.

For ten years of my childhood I lived in South America and witnessed the importance of translation from English, to Spanish, to Indian dialects all for the purpose of communication. That fluency and fluidity of daily translating now informs my work with individuals, couples and groups as I find different ways to say the same thing to open understanding and connection internally within a person and their parts, as well as between individuals.

Working as a nurse in the ICU, oncology, medical and surgical floors for 10 years gave me a strong anatomy focus. Becoming diplomat certified in CranioSacral Therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute gave me the skills to gently palpate the housing of the nervous system and the body. Instead of telling the tissue how to be, this light respectful touch listens while also offering the body options on how to move. I use this quality of listening touch when working with bodies that hold depression, anxiety, and trauma of different kinds. This inclusive, hands on way to welcome the body enhances the client’s ability to be more calmly present to their own body’s story. Observing the life changing impact of CST has fueled my passion and conviction to include the body in various ways with talk therapy and to teach others how to do the same.
