"People heal from their pain when they have an authentic connection with another human being.

ABOUT

ABOUT ME

I spent over a decade in tech startups, and at all levels I found myself mentoring around culture and communication issues more than any other aspect of work. As a result, I built a toolkit for disseminating empathy and dismantling domination culture.

​

I’ve helped individuals and teams unpack the habits that are holding them back from achieving their goals and finding the collaboration they need. In 2018, I earned an MA in Social Entrepreneurship & Social Change from Pepperdine University, I have been a student of Nonviolent Communication since 2014, and I hold a coaching certificate in Polyvagal Therapeutic Principles

​

My work examines the interrelated influence of power, social structure and personal paradigms on our human need to feel authentic and connected. 

​

I'm a queer, cis, femme living in Napa Valley, CA. I write  essays about food and culture in a monthly newsletter called Emotional Eating and never go a day without chocolate. I cook, hike, ride horses, and look for belly laughs wherever I can. Currently striving to be a 'yes' person and looking forward to my second harvest and crush here in Napa

Reach out to see if we're a great fit. Sometimes I even answer the phone like it's the '90's! â€‹

If we're not a match, I'll recommend someone who may be, and probably at least one good book.

You've got nothing to lose besides frustration.
