“The cure for appeasement is dismantling power structures and no amount of nervous system regulation will do that. Power structures won’t dismantle themselves; people need to do that work. Regulating our stress responses whenever we feel more safe is important though in that it helps us build capacity for the long haul work for liberation.”
About...
I am a licensed & trained clinical social worker & psychotherapist. Much of my clinical work focuses on somatics (body-centered) & trauma healing (personal, ancestral, & collective).
My services...
Compassionate Somatic Therapy (personal healing focus)
Working at your pace, I can help you explore patterns in the body and mind that may be limiting or difficult to overcome, and to use the strength and wisdom that resides within you to find growth and transformation.

Trainings, Classes, Workshops, Play Labs (group healing focus)
I teach specialized workshops, trainings, classes, and online home practices in embodied liberation, somatic skills, therapeutic movement, meditation/non-dual spirituality, trauma healing, embodied awareness, and other topics.
Strategic & Leadership Consultation (organizational healing focus)
My consulting practice is for those ready to hold both: the systemic and the somatic, the visionary and the practical. Through collaboration, presence, and emergence, we will co-create pathways for leaders and teams to embody their values, cultivate cultures of care, and sustain liberatory practices — all while honoring the real-world needs and logistics of organizational life.
