Born in Phoenix, AZ, grew up in Lancaster, PA and South Bend, IN, then attended Purdue University. Felt a calling to move to Tucson where I finished my undergraduate studies, earned my bachelor's degree in Philosophy at the University of Arizona, and soon after received my master's in Counseling Psychology from Prescott College.
Meditation has been a regular practice of mine since 2005, initially utilizing it to manage severe anxiety.
I began practicing yoga asana in 2007 and have been teaching it since 2010--the year I also initiated my study of Tibetan Buddhism.
I began my career as a professional mental health therapist in 2011 and have provided services in the Tucson community--including with families involved with the Department of Child Safety and children in foster care--as well as the Arizona State Prison system. I recently concluded 6 years of providing care for students at the University of Arizona. I currently run a successful private practice, providing psychotherapy to the Tucson community.
