INTEGRATIVE COUNSELING | COMMUNITY BUILDING | CLINICAL LEADERSHIP & NON PROFIT MANAGEMENT
Training and Mentorship
First and foremost, I want to honor my peers, those in the Baba Yaga Collective, the providers and staff at Healthy Living Community, and those I have worked with who have taught me skills and shared wisdom beyond any degree or training.
I thank mentors: Sue Baelen, my midwife; Sonya Arreola, an embodied leader in participatory-based community research and the most human leader I have had the privilege to know; my peers at Vida Health who taught me deep humanity and helped form my own leadership skills amidst large systems; Montreal and Montana as land-based mentors in culture and spirituality; Teachers at CIIS including Carol Whitfield, Atava Garcia Swiecicki, and Star Hawk who impacted me more than they know; Plant & Earth-based teachers who helped me unpack my own blocks and narratives; Steve Gomes and the amazing Chaplains I trained with; and the deep love, support, learning and healing through my family, partnership, and son.
