As a teacher and an academic over the past decade, I have engaged ancient religious texts through queer, feminist, and race critical lenses as a means for activating curiosity about our individual and collective histories, inherited assumptions, and personal values. I also hold a Doctor of Theology in Religion, Gender, and Culture from Harvard Divinity School and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary in New York, where I began my studies in depth psychology.

I am engaged in ongoing psychoanalytic supervision and trauma-informed, somatically-oriented Jungian BodyDreaming training, and I begin Jungian analytic training in September 2023. I am completing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Southern Maine in May 2023 while interning in a psychoanalytically supervised private practice in Portland, ME and in the Maine College of Art & Design counseling center.
