Behind my many certifications is a heart that delights in the happiness and relief of suffering for all beings. It is my great pleasure to help participants grow in compassion, and to support teachers in teaching from a place of compassion for self and others. We are all in this together!

As a certified Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) teacher, and a certified The Daring Way™ (TDW) teacher I also offer classes in CCT, TDW and Brené Brown's newest program, Rising Strong. As a mentor, I offer mentorship toward certification for MSC, and also mentorship for people who are not interested in certification but want to improve their own lives, or their teaching, through the practice of MSC. This is also available in an intensive format. In addition, as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer intensive psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
My specialty is in compassion for self and others, especially in the context of relationships. My book, Compassion for Couples: Building the Skills of Loving Connection is due out in February 2023.
