My professional experience in psychology, somatics and the arts spans over twenty years and includes work in education, private practice and community intervention. I obtained my M.A. in Engaged Humanities with Emphasis in Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. I am a core faculty for the certificate in Movement-based Expressive Arts Therapy at the Tamalpa Institute in California and supervise advanced students. I also teach graduate courses as adjunct faculty at SouthWestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

I am the creator of Mythic Life: Embodying Wisdom, Beauty and Courage. Mythic Life is the fruit of over 20 years of practice. I wrote an unpublished collection of academic essays, Somaphilia: Re-membering the Soul and the Aesthetics of Being, which is my masters’ thesis. 

I am a registered Expressive Arts Therapist through the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association, and I am a registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator from ISMETA -the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association. Since 2014 I have served on the ISMETA Board of Directors. Currently, I am Board President and Co-chair of the Professional standards Committee. I enjoy collaborating with the ISMETA Board of Directors to grow the field of somatic movement and advance the profession.
