Consulting & Education
Media and Film Consulting/Interviewing, Speaking, Workshops and Retreats
Mental health and personal development knowledge belong to all of us.
With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, and many more years in musical performance, songwriting, athletics, mythology & spirituality studies, and nature-based work, I love offering the synthesis of my experience in the service of greater healing. I've worked in a variety of settings, including in the education system, community mental health, private practice, outdoors, in stores, on stage, on screen, in homes and assisted living, and of course, via telehealth. Let me put these years of diverse doings to work for your contributions to the world.
I am available for media collaboration offering the following services:
- Speaking
- Workshops
- Presentations
- Consultation
- On-screen/ podcast/ radio interviews- either as interviewer or subject
- Creative Consulting for characters and plot lines
My body of knowledge includes intersections between:
-Body-Centered Psychotherapy, and the embodied experiences of being human
- Development and trauma across the life span
- Relationship dynamics: Red and Green flags
- Spirituality, cross-cultural mythology and energetic healing
- Environmental sciences and human-nature connection
- Music, songwriting and performance
- Athletics and Outdoor Pursuits
- Having heard the intricate details of thousands of stories of pain and triumph, and having gotten to explore my own with the benefit of my education and community, I know how much struggle we humans have in common. I also know for a fact there is a persistent, golden wisdom that exists within each of us. Often called the "Big 'S' Self, I've seen the magnetic quality of the unfettered, inherently harmonized, and basically good essence that exists within each person. If you want to explore this, it's my favorite topic

Project Pivot
2022: Voortex Productions presents this full-length documentary that asks questions about fear and grit. A skateboarder, a mountain biker and a rock climber are dropped into each other's sport to discover what drives them, what scares them, and what they all have in common. Two mental health professionals join the athletes in the journey to offer perspectives and dig into their experiences.

Workshops & Retreats
As a call from these times, when so much is shifting, changing, and challenging us to our core, I am excited to gather with you to practice these skills of resilience, resistance, and nervous system sovereignty. When it feels like just reading the news is too much to bear, we are asked to more deeply trust our body-mind's ability to regulate more than ever before.
Over the course of 5 weeks, we will explore embodied mindfulness skills, ancient, but updated through the fields of Somatic Psychotherapy, Dance/Movement Therapy. These skills will reconnect you with your body-mind's powerful natural design for processing emotion and nervous system dysregulation-- the very design our culture has stigmatized and encouraged us to ignore.
I truly believe that these skills are our birthright and the keys to our evolution. And in a time when fear, anger and fracturing is on the rise, building "Somatic Self-Esteem" is a vital means to empowerment. What does it mean when people say, "EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS INSIDE OF YOU?" This class will lay out concrete steps for answering this question.
This course works as a stand-alone, or as an ACCELERATOR to any personal body-based and spiritual practice, including yoga, dance, therapy, massage, cranial sacral, and meditation.
This workshop's format will include, not just learning and practicing somatic concepts, but applying them in response to conversations around how we are experiencing the state of the world. We will practice, not bypass, in community.
Each class will build on the last. We will:
- Learn skills for identifying, tracking, and sequencing emotion in the body.
-Embody options for transforming activating emotion
-Put these skills to use for staying grounded in relationship (in dyads and through sharing)
-Apply your new tool set to processing current events.
-Reclaim your body's natural ways of returning to center, with a culmination in an small-group 5-Rhythms-based dance.
Each class builds upon the last, so a commitment to full attendance is requested. We will have the presence of experienced space keepers Kelli Riddle, LMP, RYT and Klarity Carlton to support participants in grounding and in feeling safe within the group container. This is a closed group, so as to maintain the integrity, trust and intimacy of the co-created culture.
This class is not a replacement for therapy. As with all my workshops, I recommend locating supports -- friends, therapists, body workers, etc. if you feel you might want extra support. Kelli and Clarity both provide incredible body-based services outside of this class.
I look forward to exploring, learning, and evolving together!
