I am moved by the flourishing potential of people living from their passions and effectively sharing their gifts with the world. Currently I am finishing up a Masters’ degree in counseling with an emphasis on Play Therapy and Transpersonal/Integral Counseling. As both a therapist and an individual, I strive to co-create spaces that invite exploration of the life that is within us and beyond us. Encouraging one another to be open, present, and actively engaging in our lives, is powerful medicine. Open Space Technology is a resource that I have discovered to be highly effective and efficient in facilitating such means of communication and action. I am enthusiastic about this process’ place in our evolving society.

The majority of my work experience has been with children ranging in age from 3-18. Most recently, however, I have been active in facilitating parenting groups that strengthen the child-caregiver bond, and individual and group counseling with adults. Prior to my graduate studies, I taught at a school that followed the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, I co-lead camping trips as a form of respite care for children in therapeutic foster care, and I was an instructor/mentor at camp for self-discovery.

I look forward to getting to know the community that is forming here.
