I have spent my life deeply dedicated to the process of becoming who I am. I have gone down many roads in this process and have taken something with me from most of them. Although I am formally educated with a BA in Anthropology and Psychology and a Masters in Social Work, I attribute my wisdom more to my informal, life education. After 30 years of researching, traveling, working with so many different humans, and continuously being in my own daily practice of honest listening, I live solidly in my commitment to people’s freedom. Part of what makes my work so powerful is that unlike so many others I do not pretend to know what is best for you. I ask the question and I listen. Life has taught me that we are the only people who can truly empower ourselves. I have brought myself out of many dark places, yes with the wisdom and support of others, but mostly with my own body intelligence guiding me into the knowledge that I do not have to spend this life suffering unnecessarily. Life is and always will be full of pain but I learned to choose to see the pain through the lens of beauty. I know we all have this inherent intelligence and my work is to shed this light.

I live queerly, meaning I cherish and foment moments of norm disruption and play. I spend a lot of my free time dancing Contact Improvisation and enjoy teaching this form as well. I go for walks and sometimes I bask in the wonder, other times I bask in my inner monologue. I engage in deep relational practice with my loved ones, always questioning and working for more joy and freedom.
