I started my life of play designing and building Muppets for Sesame Street. Since then, I’ve followed play into unlikely places: The Media lab at MIT, Airports in Washington D.C., Children’s hospitals, Prisons, and boardrooms.I’ve coached leaders, taught graduate students, given TEDx talks, trained coaches, and published academic articles. I received a master’s degree if Philosophy & Religion, and a bunch of formal training in coaching & facilitation.

But the deepest teachings have come from the body, the breath, the dreams, and the stories we carry in silence.

Now, I bring all of it— magic and philosophy, trauma training and deep, attuned presence—into spaces where people can come undone in the best possible way. Where we can welcome what’s been exiled. Where play makes room for grief, and grief makes room for surprises.

My work is rooted in years of private clinical practice and deep training in somatics, trauma healing, dreamwork, and griefwork. I’m certified in Somatic Experiencing and Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), and my approach draws nourishment from many lineages—human and more-than-human (than you, great oaks, moss, and fungus).

My work is especially shaped by and in service to those holding heavy things in the margins—caregivers, front-line workers, queer and trans folks, BIPOC, and all those whose tenderness and truth have long been made to feel like too much. You’re welcome here in all your complexity.
