About Me

My work weaves together Somatic Experiencing—a therapeutic modality—and breathwork, with a focus on individual, ancestral and collective healing. I support individuals and groups to build capacity, to safely navigate the path of transformation, and to re-commit to life as the beautiful and textured creative process that it is.

My personal and professional journey has been diverse: I was a Fulbright Fellow in Mongolia documenting the underground queer community, a journalist in Cambodia, completed a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at Columbia University, was a writer and producer in New York and DC for National Geographic, Discovery and Smithsonian, studied mythology and pastoral care at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, and worked as a storyteller and creative producer in nonprofit and tech in San Francisco.

The core trainings that guide my work are: Advanced Breathwork with David Elliott; Breathwork Mastery with The Breath Space; Timeless Wisdom Training and Collective Trauma Facilitator Training with teacher and author, Thomas Hübl, which both focus on individual, ancestral and collective trauma healing and integration. I am currently in the Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) training, founded by Dr. Peter Levine, which is a nervous system focused therapy that focuses on building nervous system capacity and integrating trauma that lives in the body. In addition to my formal trainings, I’ve immersed myself in more esoteric modalities which I incorporate into my practice, including Internal Family Systems, Wisdom Traditions, Men’s Work, the 12-Steps and Shamanic-informed healing.
