About the Host
My experience spans from Broadway stages to elite fitness training to psychotherapy. I’ve spent years working in creative, high-performance spaces and feel most alive when I help bring people together through embodied expression. As a performer and speaker, I enjoy designing experiences that help individuals learn new skills, reconnect with their creativity, and access a greater sense of presence. As I complete my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with certification in Expressive Arts Therapy, my work continues to center on the relationship between creativity, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. I’m especially drawn to exploring how movement, art, and breath can help shift us out of fight-or-flight and into greater alignment with ourselves.
Certifications & Credentials
My background is in Broadway performance, and my current pursuit is Expressive Arts Therapy. I love to bridge the gap between storytelling, embodiment, and mental health. I have extensive performance experience, and my recent training in psychotherapy and Expressive Arts Therapy has sharpened my group facilitation skills.
