I am a creative alchemist, educator, writer, artist, and death doula based in Portland, Oregon. I call myself a cultural worker because I believe in the transformative power of weaving innovative, compassionate, and resilient communities.

Most everything I do comes down to presence and attunement. This includes making art with children and mentoring teachers in public school classrooms over the past 25 years, as well as my work supporting people through grief, death, and personal and creative evolution.

I am a skilled communicator and facilitator, dedicated to building meaningful relationships and valuing the wisdom of each individual. Through nature-based ritual, storytelling, movement, and ceremony, I help people navigate thresholds—the moments in life when we are confronted with the biggest questions of consciousness and our own mortality.

I hold a Master’s in Teaching, am trained in mediation and Restorative Justice, and am currently pursuing a second graduate degree in transpersonal psychology, death, and cultural evolution.

I love to find patterns in chaos and humor in the absurd, and I’m eternally in search of the perfect swimming hole.
