My passion is helping people in stressful situations (which is sometimes all of us), to connect more strongly to ourselves and to each other. Most of this work is done in the healthcare space, teaching "the science of compassion" at the bedside and in leadership. My background includes 20 years of acute care nursing, clinical leadership, and medical education, where I've worked in everything from Search and Rescue to ICU and hospice. My hobbies include Irish pub singing and picking fights with outdated medical practices. Using experiences from leadership positions and at the bedside, I work to put a personal spin on the science and studies that can become actionable tools for better communication and connection.

Restoring Health to Healthcare is a psychotherapy practice devoted to healthcare professionals. From the start, my goal was to create a space that feels safe, private, and deeply human. A space where healthcare professionals can take a breath, find calm, and feel understood. Throughout my career, I’ve sat with physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who have quietly carried the weight of trauma, grief, and exhaustion. Many give so much of themselves that they begin to lose the sense of who they are outside their work. I have seen how this distress can erode confidence and hope, and how powerful it is when healing begins to take shape again. I'm energized by the idea of systems-level changes in which organizations make intentional choices to lead with love and so glad to have landed here.
