I’m so happy you’re here!

I’ve always loved a good story—and the human body has a lot to say.

Once in a while, I’m thanked by a yoga student who is amazed by their progress. I remind them that it isn’t me—or even the yoga that’s responsible—it’s them! The same is true in massage therapy: the therapist is simply a guide, illuminating the path. The client is the one who takes the brave step forward toward understanding.

I completed the Ivy Tech Therapeutic Massage program in 2017 and strive to meet each client exactly where they are—supporting their unique process and helping them reconnect with their own capacity for wellness. I am currently in my second year of Somatic Experience training and look forward to completing the SEP certification in 2027

Additionally, I am thrilled to be part of the Center for Thriving Relationships team as an associate psychotherapist. Across disciplines and roles, my work continues to center the wisdom of the body—as both storyteller and site of healing. If you are interested in seeing me for therapy, you can do that here.

Before settling into this work, I spent many years immersed in creative and exploratory pursuits that took me across the U.S. and abroad, deepening my understanding of culture, narrative, and human resilience. Those experiences continue to inform how I listen, observe, and show up with care and curiosity.

These days, I live with my daughter (Minnie) and two small dogs (Freddy and Bo), a tortoise (Tina) in a 100-year-old house in south Bloomington at the end of a dead-end road, next to the Empire Quarry. We love long walks, plant-therapy shopping at May’s, and watching animals on the internet.
