Trainer Statement
I've worked as retreat leader and spiritual director, and these experiences inform my current "ambivalence-informed" approach to helping helpers become better at engaging people with their natural mixed feelings about change.  I recognize my multiple unearned advantages in life and acknowledge my feet stand on land which does not belong to me.  I welcome the ongoing conversation about how best to proceed in this reality.
Training Interests
Learning resilience from folks as together we navigate dominant culture in a way which fosters Genuineness and Spirit. We work together to find an authentic ambivalence-informed approach.
