I am an integrative social work practitioner, clinical somatic educator and therapist, nonprofit executive, and leadership coach with more than 25 years of experience supporting individuals, organizations, and communities through growth, change, and transformation.

My work lives at the intersection of leadership, healing, and community care. I support leaders navigating complexity, responsibility, and transition who are seeking greater grounded - ness, sustainability, and connection in the way they lead.

I believe the body remembers, not only what has been endured, but also what is possible.

My approach is rooted in somatic healing, transformative justice, and creative inquiry, shaped by decades of community organizing, executive leadership, and collective care. I bring a steady, relational presence and a deep capacity for noticing what - and who - may be missing in a space. While I am often described as a leader's leader, I understand leadership as a shared, embodied practice rather than a role or title.

Throughout my career, I have served in a variety of leadership roles, most recently as Executive Director of a nonprofit organization in Ohio. There, I guided the organization through COVID-19, unionization, and an increasingly hostile socio-political climate while strengthening long-term sustainability and quadrupling the organization's budget. I also navigated the quieter realities of leadership: uncertainty, grief, difficult decisions, and the ongoing responsibility of caring for people while stewarding a mission.

These experiences deepened my conviction that meaningful work should not come at the expense of rest, wellbeing, or our connection to ourselves.

Through Selah Somatic Therapy & Yoga, I support leaders in slowing down, listening deeply, and reconnecting with the wisdom of the body. Together, we create space to move beyond chronic urgency, burnout, and survival-mode leadership toward greater capacity, clarity, and resilience. Rather than fixing, we focus on restoring connection, allowing the body to soften, settle, and remember its inherent wisdom. Healing unfolds not through urgency, but through trust, relationship, and the courage to be present with what is.

Selah is a place for pause.

This your invitation to lead from a place of rest.
