My Approach

I am passionate about authentic, harmonious, joyful living and relating!

In close personal relationships, I guide individuals to create the emotional safety needed to be curious, honest, and truly loving. In communities, I leverage my years of professional facilitation experience to create just the right amount of structure for community cohesion and clear action toward the shared goals.

My deepest passion is for courageous, harmonious relationships and so when there is conflict, I support people to connect deeply with what matters most and arrive at mutually satisfying, lasting resolutions.

Whether it is a whole new approach to communication or strategic tweaks to your communication style, learning essential communication skills will improve the quality of your relationships.  Active listening, understanding the root causes of troubling behaviour, depersonalizing conflict, clarifying what is truly important, and making powerful requests are just some skills you will learn in working with me.  By learning and integrating compassionate communication, you too can create deeply satisfying relationships in all areas of your life.
