About

I've been fascinated by Life for as long as I can remember.

One of my earliest memories is talking to the honeysuckle bush outside of a childhood home. I experienced the world as engaging, responsive, and something I could be in real relationship with. That way of seeing the world has stayed with me.

I'm curious about almost everything. I mean, just look around! What's not to explore? I'm fascinated by the relationships between things and by the ways people across time and cultures have tried to understand what it means to be alive. I love looking at something from different angles and seeing what each perspective has to teach us.

My own experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and chronic health struggles led me to wonder about how we heal and what that actually means to me. I've studied herbalism for a decade and have gone on to train in energy work, trauma-informed yoga, somatic healing, Ayurveda, and Classical Chinese Medicine. I don't expect any one system or lens to have the whole answer. I'm interested in what we can learn from each of them, what holds up to careful observation, as well as what’s still a mystery. It is extraordinary to be alive, after all! We are brief, strange, beautiful, miraculous expressions of something much larger than ourselves, and I believe we have a responsibility to participate in this gift of living on Earth as fully as we can. For me, the goal then is expressing fully while staying in healthy relationship with other people, the natural world, and this Life we're all part of.

I care deeply about people, and I have a particular knack for seeing connections and possibilities. I ask good questions. I listen and notice patterns. I bring my knowledge, perspective, and experience to the table while staying curious about what else there is. I believe in healthy partnership and in respecting the person in front of me as the authority on their own life. Finally, I believe we can hold a whole lot inside of relationship—big questions, paradox, uncertainty, grief, possibility, and much more—and that being genuinely seen and cared for can change what becomes possible.

I'm glad you're here.
