My lifelong passion has been to understand and heal deep-seated patterns. This hunger began early—I saved my babysitting money as a kid to see a hypnotherapist and was making my own self-hypnosis tapes by age 14.

Along the way, I discovered that many of our challenges are driven by unseen, inherited influences directed by our DNA. A pivotal moment came at 23 when a Kinesiologist uncovered that my habit of being ushered along in relationships without being able to exercise choice was a pattern passed down from my maternal grandmother. Later, using another method at 30, I identified a promise my grandfather made as a prisoner of war that was driving an obsessive eating pattern—and as soon as I saw it, the pattern subsided.

A decade later, I found my passion in Systemic Family Constellation. It offers me a template to bring my specialties forward and a springboard for more discovery. I trained first with Harold Homberger, a student of Bert Hellinger in 2010 and now I play in The Field as often as possible. I host Constellation groups and workshops and weave this systemic awareness into my private work with individuals, couples, and teams. I have developed a focus since 2016 on trauma work with veterans and couples. Most recently I have been bringing this understanding into mediation.
