After years of therapy and medication, I initially came to meditation to address intransigent issues with PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression that prevented me from living life to its fullest. I began my practice with Vipassana/Insight work, eventually finding Unified Mindfulness (UM) and studying with Julianna Raye for more than 8 years. I have completed UM’s teacher training program, and regularly teach mindfulness for the Women’s Leadership Initiative at the University of Delaware, where I also serve as an adjunct professor and assistant director of career services for graduate students and alumni in the business school. Mindfulness informs all of these activities and has dramatically shifted my relationships at work and at home.

I get so much joy out of sharing practices that can help reduce suffering and enrich our awareness of our shared humanity.
