I am a trauma-informed advocate, nonprofit leader, and certified forest therapy guide whose work centers on fostering connection, leadership, and healing through nature. With a background spanning direct service through executive leadership in the domestic violence field, I bring deep expertise in trauma-informed practice and nature-based healing. As a lifelong nature lover, I have found a unique way to combine my skills and passion to help people live their best lives.
I consult with nonprofits through my program, Nurturing Leadership, where I support leadership development from strategy to wellness. I am an executive coach partnering with leaders to navigate complex transitions with clarity, purpose and lasting legacy. My unique skills and passions allow me to bring nature into leadership development, helping clients to slow down, practice presence, regulate and re-connect with their authentic selves.
My guiding style is playful and opens the door for the healing powers of nature to work their magic. I trained with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides using an approach centered on remembering our connection to the more than human world and coming back into our senses. I volunteer with several environmental conservation groups and my child's high school band boosters. I believe in the healing power of nature which led me to this practice.
