I am inspired by nature, the depth and breadth of human emotion, music and art, and my family. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Science from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. I was raised in the Midwest which instilled in me the values of hard work and taking care of one another.
I believe strongly that a foundation for transformative work is becoming more fully embodied. By grounding ourselves in our bodies we are able to fully embrace our human experience, whether that experience includes times of great joy, times of challenge and struggle, times of mundane monotony, or anything in between. In bringing ourselves back into our bodies we are in fact bringing ourselves back into the ultimate experience of life, as well as finding and sustaining the energy required to meet therapeutic goals.
