  • Trauma-Aware Coaching

I value ongoing education – formal, self-directed, and that gleaned from lived-experience – and spending time in research in order to support my clients and class participants.

A lot of the wisdom and support I offer also comes from the hard work I’ve done personally to put down deep, strong roots of self-awareness and self-compassion and to show up fully to life, in every season.

I have a clear and compelling vision for my life and for who and how I choose to be in the world. My life vision and all of the choices I make, who I spend time with, the work I do in the world, all flow out from my core values. These values are freedom, integrity, curiosity, brave community, and contribution.
