I am a somatic psychotherapist and educator who began studying with Cedar in 2005, first Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, then Right Use of Power. I completed her RUP Facilitator’s Training in 2013. I have dual licensure as a clinical mental health counselor associate and a massage and bodywork therapist. I have taught RUP workshops on and off since 2014, mostly to psychotherapists and massage therapists and in the ethics module of Hakomi Comprehensive Trainings in the US and Europe.

I am a Certified Hakomi Therapist and Trainer with Hakomi Institute, a co-facilitator for Passion and Presence couples’ retreats on mindful sexuality created by Hakomi Trainer Maci Daye, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. As such, I have an extensive background in embodied, experiential education. Power with heart is just what humankind needs more of right now, and there can’t be too many of us sharing this work!
