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

Ways to Work Together

A Single Season

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.

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.

The 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.

Discover the Retreat
A woman with long brown hair, wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and tan woven shoes, is sitting on a tall wooden stool with one leg crossed over the other. She is posing with one arm resting on her knee and the other hand on her lap, in front of a colorful, floral-patterned tapestry hanging on the wall behind her.

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.

You already carry more wisdom than you realize. Much of it you have already thought through. What's left just needs somewhere to move. And a place to land.
