I have been practicing expressive arts in one way or another my whole life. I started my career as a military musician and obtained my college degree in Visual Art & Communication in 2010. I have always had a heart for holding space for others and have found myself in social justice and caregiving roles over and over again.

Engaging and interacting with art and music have provided solace, insight, and safe spaces for me to reflect, rejuvenate, and grow - through both trauma and joy. The combination of my lived experience and my desire to share the healing power of art, sound, meditation, and human connection with others led me to start working with crime survivors, veterans, and people impacted by mass incarceration. I experienced the power of restorative circles to encourage deep listening, build understanding, make room for uncomfortable truths, and facilitate real connection and healing.

My work is grounded in the truth that every person has the ability to access their power, potential, and creativity when given the safety and encouragement they need to do so. I invite people into accessible and mindful art activities, guided meditation, music making, and sound journeying to help them relax, rejuvenate, and open pathways to enhanced mind-body connection, creativity, and balance. I help create space and intention for human connection through restorative peer support and community-building circles, restorative justice processes, small groups, and one-to-one coaching. As a co-participant with the people I work with, I often learn as much or more than I share. All of my services, training, and offerings follow trauma-informed practices.

I am currently certified as a Meditation Specialist, Mindful and Meditative Art Teacher, Restorative Circle-keeper, and Sound Healer.

I look forward to connecting with you.
