​WHO I AM

I have always been drawn to Self-discovery through personal and collective evolution.   My own journey of Self-actualization and healing in my early 20’s opened me to the opportunity and experience of working with others in the healing arts. My curiosity of human development and transformation led me to continually explore the fields of psychology, philosophy and wisdom traditions.   Integrating the teachings and wisdom of those master teachers pushed and pulled me into new opportunities and realms of consciousness.

​

In 2008 I discovered the theory and teachings of Adult Development, researched and pioneered by Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter.  It was truly a transformational moment in my career.  It allowed me to see and work within a framework that reframed challenges and tensions from “pathologies” into actual openings and opportunities for transformation.  It forever changed the way I worked in my psychotherapy practice as well as opening me to the fields of Personal and Executive Coaching.

​

 In 2014 I was introduced to the practice of Mutual Awakening.   These shared awakening experiences have  been life changing and opened me to an increasing awareness of the interrelatedness of all like.  In 2019 we formed a community, The WeONEing or TWO,  and opened me to participate in an evolving community committed to  exploring and deepening our awareness of the inter-subjective nature of existence

 

​

My work with others has been infused with these mystical and  teachings and I have been awed by the acceleration of transformation my clients are experiencing inside this evolving paradigm of consciousness.  I have always felt honored to work closely with another, to share the journey to one’s unique Self., it seems to hold the next great need and step for humankind.
