About Me

My work centers on deep presence, embodiment, and careful attention to the subtle ways the body and psyche hold experience. Through this process, people often discover new pathways for healing, insight, and personal transformation.

A central focus of this work is the human nervous system—the living vessel through which we experience the world. As the body begins to settle and release what it has been carrying, many people rediscover a deeper sense of connection to themselves, to others, and to life. From this grounding, a renewed sense of vitality and clarity can emerge.

My approach is informed by extensive training in Somatic Experiencing®, the trauma resolution method developed by Dr. Peter Levine, as well as collective and ancestral trauma facilitation with Thomas Hübl. I have also completed advanced breathwork training with David Elliott and The Breath Space. These influences shape the way I create spaces where people can safely explore emotional, somatic, and relational dimensions of transformation.

Alongside my one-on-one work, I am the founder of Steppe and Soul, leading small group pilgrimages to Mongolia rooted in nearly two decades of relationship with the land and its people, and facilitating group experiences—including men’s work—that support deeper emotional presence, connection, and self-understanding.

My professional path has included work across a range of creative and cultural fields. I was a Fulbright Fellow in Mongolia, a journalist in Cambodia, and hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. I have worked as a writer and producer for organizations including National Geographic, Discovery, and Smithsonian, and have studied mythology and pastoral care in Berkeley. These experiences continue to shape the depth, presence, and sensitivity I bring to my work.
