What gets me out of bed in the morning is knowing that today I will make choices that impact future me, the community, you, and the world at large.  I declare my choices to be grounded in love and trust, & co-created with Divinity.  Do I sometimes trip over the stories, beliefs, patterns that tell me I’m not good enough?  Sure do.  Like you, I am human, with my own backstory, my own hurdles to jump over, and my own unique gifts and purpose in this world.  Even though there are moments I slide back into status quo, I then get to remember who I AM, and choose again.  Who are you? I smile envisioning a world where we all choose our infinite wholeness and manifest from a place of unconditional love.  This is the vision I hold while we co-create.  

I entered into the field of therapy, and now coaching, because I love people and I witness the daily struggle of humanity and believe a different life IS possible.  I am passionate about co-creating healthy connections in relationship with self, others, Spirit, the masculine/feminine, and nature.  During the past ten plus years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, and groups in wilderness, school, home, and community settings. 
After spending 10 months in New Zealand in 2012, I knew I was destined to return.  In May 2017 my husband, Travis, (who supports me in offering couples coaching to you-see services) and I immigrated to New Zealand from America.  I return with an eagerness to be in contribution, add value to whatever I do, heal relationships and nurture the seeds of growth.  My life experiences are consistently teaching me the importance of acknowledging our differences and the commonalities of the heart.
Outside of work, I can be found trekking, baking, boogie boarding, meditating, watching a show and using expressive arts.  I love celebrating life through freeform dancing, DIYing natural products and enjoying time with friends, whānau, and the outdoors.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
