My work lives at the intersection of mindfulness, creativity, and connection with the natural world—supporting people in meeting life’s challenges while staying open to beauty, presence, and meaning. Through meditation, writing, and reflective practices, I offer ways to slow down, listen more deeply, and cultivate a sense of belonging within ourselves and the world around us. I offer workshops in mindfulness, writing, and resilience—each an invitation to create inner refuge while remaining connected to the richness of being alive. I work as a mindfulness teacher, psychotherapist, writer, and photographer. I have been photographing ghost forests in coastal NC since 2010, as these forests are dying from saltwater intrusion due to climate change. I am a mindfulness instructor at UNC-Chapel Hill and a NC Regional Coordinator for the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.
