ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Radical presence, kindness, clear communication, and growth excite and delight me. I am passionate about showing up congruently in all areas of my life.
I am deeply curious.
My job is to be a catalyst, holding space for meaningful change and encouraging growth.
I'm a little swear-y, a tad bit irreverent, I laugh a lot, and I love stories.
We are all on this path of transformation together, and I firmly believe we are drawn to our people. We feel it when we are meant to travel together.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Everything I do is about helping folks bridge the space between the inner, authentic self and the outside world.
Mindfulness techniques and attention to behavioral patterns shows up in most of the work I do.
My complementary specialties are utilized as needed to empower clients to be actively present and effective in their relationships, personally and professionally.
ISSUES OF IDENTITY
I identify as a cis-gender, white female with a multi-racial and multi-cultural family of origin.
My chosen community is largely creative and entrepreneurial, multi-racial and multi-cultural, and consists of a variety of gender identities.
Issues of justice, identity, inclusion, and equity are priorities in my life and in my work.
