I am a queer, fat, cis-gender woman, a divorced single mom, a therapist, a social worker, a community organizer, a birth and postpartum doula, an activist, a friend, and a member of many different kinds of families. All these identities, roles, life experiences have woven together to shape the unique perspective and philosophy that guides me. I am committed to the goal of liberation, individually and collectively. I am committed to finding ways to live life as our liberated authentic selves in a world that tries to shatter our identities, question our experiences, values and dreams.
You are not what is broken. You are surviving in a broken world. Using the broken pieces of glass to reflect light on what needs to be melted and transformed, I will be here to shine light to those pieces. We will work together to sculpt new tools that go beyond survival. Tools to build a world in alignment with your values, beliefs and wildest dreams.
When you choose to work with me, I honor you as the expert of your own journey. Our partnership in this deep, juicy, intimate work will be a true collaboration. I will sit in the sometimes dark, dank, smelly intensity of emotions with you, I will celebrate and cheer in times of sunshine and cool breezes, and I will walk next to you in the in-between.

Witnessing and holding space for healing and transformation has been my life's work for the past 25 years. My experience spans working with families in transition (Birth, empty nest, family makeup) community mental health work, and community organizing. My hardest lessons have come from a life navigating systems of mental and physical health while securing resources and care for youth and adults.
