Part I

There is an entire generation of people struggling with a sense of being alone on the journey of life, drained by battles with anxiety and the inner critic, waylaid by troublesome thoughts and judgments, tripped by unhelpful emotional patterns, unfulfilled by distant or superficial relationships, and often at a loss for how to move forward in personal life and career from a place of inner congruence. Dreams unfulfilled, hearts and souls out of reach.

I am on a mission to provide the guidance, transformative change work, and training that leads people to lives rich with intimacy and connection, radiant with aliveness, confidence, and clarity, and flush with the fulfillment that comes when we live close to the heart and soul and live our purpose in the world.

Part II

Imagine walking around in the world with the sense that everybody is on your team and motivated to help you get what you need to live a wonderful life. And that you derive great joy from making life more wonderful for other people. I believe this is the world we were born to live in and that it is a real possibility, one which I see emerging through the healing and empowering approach of Nonviolent Communication.

Most people I know long for flow, connection, intimacy, resilience, and a collaborative, mutually giving and caring spirit in their relationships, both personal and professional. Fewer people I know actually have grown up with the capacities and competencies that make these a real, everyday possibility. Since encountering Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent/Compassionate Communication (NVC) in 2010, it's been my growing passion to share the very concrete and accessible ways through which we can learn those modes of being, thinking, and communicating that support the aliveness, harmony, healing, and relational richness for which we yearn. As such, I offer trainings, workshops, and individual and couples' sessions in NVC-based approaches to resonant, connective communication. Those spaces of discovery, growth, and shared aliveness are one of my favorite ways of being alive together. I'm ever evolving my teaching out of a desire to help people internalize and embody the felt sense and the practical skills toward this quality of living/relating. If you'd like to bring these possibilities into your relationships or the teams you work with, I'd love to help make that happen.
