Over the past ten years I have enjoyed a wide range of leadership and teaching roles. Watching people transform in the arenas of relationships, communication and personal growth inspires me. I am passionate about counseling people through their closures and blocks. Encouraging people to embrace conflict, jealousy, anger, sorrow, joy as potential gateways to greater intimacy; I celebrate clients’ achievements, power and successes! Committed to communicating clearly and compassionately, I bring my gifts of engaged presence, openness to this work.

My personal journey involves my continued working and learning with a wide variety of teachers. Teaching communication, meditation, yoga, art therapy, dance, massage, breath work and holistic health,  I am a group instructor, workshop leader and holistic health counselor.
