My Approach
Somatic - I guide attention to the felt-sense of the body, helping you understand yourself in relationship to the world around you. Together, we aim for integration of cognition, sensation, and emotion—so that all parts of you can work in harmony.
Animist & Relational - At the heart of my work is the understanding that we are deeply interrelated—to each other, to the earth, and to all beings. Many of us were taught to prioritize individuality over connection, leaving us isolated and self-critical. In our sessions, we reclaim our birthright: a sense of belonging to the web of life.
Culturally Responsive - I recognize that power and privilege shape our experiences across class, race, gender, sexuality, and ability. As a cisgender white woman in the United States, I hold a responsibility to examine my privilege and the legacy of colonial, patriarchal systems. My commitment is to inclusivity, supporting your capacity to embrace difference and cultivate belonging.
Holistic - Wellbeing is multi-dimensional—emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, financial, and occupational. We’ll explore the areas that most impact your life and focus where support is most needed.
Scientific - We live in an extraordinary time of discovery about the brain and body. I stay current with advances in neuroscience and translate them into practical tools you can use in daily life.t seem most pressing to you together.
About me - I live beneath the wide, open skies of the Sonoran Desert with my husband and our two dogs. For me, relationships —whether friendship, marriage, family, community—are an art, a pilgrimage, and a practice to be cultivated. Dance has been with me since I could walk—it is a teacher, a meditation, and a lifelong practice. I find joy in hiking through sagebrush, wandering arroyos, listening to songbirds, and learning to garden—discovering food as medicine and the rhythm of flowing with life.
