In my years of professional work, I have answered to many names, worn many hats, and developed many skills. I have learned, been vulnerable, been empowered, loved and been loved. I have worked hard to improve the lives of others through compassion and presence.

While I have loved learning so many different skills, creating so many connections, understanding so many traditions - no one piece of my experience defines who I am or the work that I do. I have learned that only when taken as a whole, only when you look at the sum of all my varied experiences, am I able to define my unique gift and share my experience with the world. In recent years, I have worked hard to remove the cloak of invisibility, to show the healing moments of my life and work - with the hope to guide others in these profoundly important and effective ways of helping those whom we love the most to heal.

It is from this place where I shine - where I truly come alive and am at my most joyful. Working with teachers, parents, families, helpers, and other supporters; I share a potent blend of stories and experiences - in the effort of illustrating compassion and love, understanding and resiliency. Every human is unique and brings forth their own joys, sorrows, and lived experiences. It is only when we learn to listen to those experiences in a compassionate and present way, that we can move forward towards more authentic connections.
