As an integrative practitioner,
I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to listen to ourselves—to the parts we love and the parts we’ve tried to push away. My work is grounded in helping you reconnect with that inner wisdom, whether through somatic therapy, conflict resolution, or advocacy for your rights. Each pathway is designed to support you in moving toward clarity, wholeness, and more meaningful relationships.
My own journey began with an early reliance on intuition as a way to survive a difficult childhood. That inner connection guided me toward healing in my 20s and 30s through yoga, therapy, plant medicine, and holistic practices. These experiences shaped the integrative approach I now share with clients—weaving together body-based practices, spirituality, and nature to create safe, supportive spaces for growth.
I also bring a deep background in conflict resolution and advocacy. With over a decade as a federal civil rights investigator and mediator, I’ve supported people in navigating some of life’s most complex systems — from fair housing to education benefits, healthcare, and workplace protections. This work has taught me that change is always possible, and that with the right support, people can access both their rights and their resilience.
My life has been shaped by many threads: surviving trauma and addiction, recovering from PTSD as a military veteran, and engaging in community-based healing practices like dance, singing, ritual, and art. These experiences give me both professional skills and lived understanding to walk alongside clients from diverse backgrounds.
Today, I live a slow and intentional life with my partner and our dog in the Rocky Mountains near Boulder, Colorado. I’m nourished by time in nature, sauna-ing, reading, cooking, hosting gatherings, and deepening relationships with the people I love. These practices keep me grounded, regulated, and present—so I can offer the same to those I serve.
