Bio: I support clients with cultivating a healthy relational ecology, focusing on regenerative connection that starts with embodied well-being and connection practices for sustainably nourishing relationships with partners, friends, family, collaborators, and beyond. I spent 7 years in a PhD program in Counseling Psychology, concurrently pursuing Buddhist practice, authentic relating practices, and healing justice, before becoming chronically ill with long COVID in 2020 and subsequently having my expected life path fall apart. The time since then has forced me to distill the very foundations of emotional-relational well-being, and my work brings an easeful yet very direct approach to accessing emergent language and practices between people in order to tap into the resources available within and between them.
I tend to view regenerative connection as being characterized by three factors: naturalness, nourishment, and generativity. Each of these factors is best recognized through their psychosomatic signatures; that is, an embodied sense that signals alignment and attunement with well-being. While current models of healing and life-building tend to be individualized and compartmentalized, I support people with directly accessing these resources with people in their lives and finding the unique capacities and possibilities available in integrated relationships. Following these pathways, my clients can expect to cultivate healthy forms of chosen family, village, and community concurrent to their individual growth.
