Some things can't be thought through. They must be moved through.

I created a quiz for you to discover the primary emotion your body is holding — and what is waiting for you on the other side
Ways to Work Together
Single Season Guidance
One-on-one work for wherever you are in this particular season of your life. No curriculum, no cohort, just three months of private sessions shaped entirely around what's actually shifting for you.
3-month program
Leadership Training
A year-long formation for those carrying the weight of leading, in whatever form that takes for you. Over four seasons, you build the capacity to hold more, without it costing you everything.
Year-long program for thinkers and visionaries
Four days in the MountainsThe Retreat
Four days on fifty acres in the Shenandoah foothills, meeting what's underneath the exhaustion. A place to slow down enough for the deeper patterns to actually move.
About Me
I hold a Master of Divinity from Yale and I'm an ordained minister in the UCC, a progressive Christian denomination. I'm a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a trauma-informed yoga instructor, and a Gottman-trained relationship coach, and I learned somatic retreat leadership at Shalom Mountain, in a lineage of embodied practice refined over fifty years.
My spiritual study runs wide. I've sat with Buddhist leaders, Christian mystics, Tantric teachers and scholars across many traditions.
I believe this work is sacred, and to do it well, one must have done their own work — clinically, theologically, and in her own body. That is why I share my story and so much of my life through my work.
