I’m a licensed school counselor, health educator, and integrative mental health counselor dedicated to building wholehearted schools. I founded Wholehearted Schools with a simple but radical belief: when educators are supported to thrive, students flourish too.

I hold a dual Master's in Mental Health and School Counseling from the University of Vermont and bring over a decade of public education experience to her work. In 2018, I was named a Rowland Fellow, launching research into how schools can proactively integrate social-emotional learning and wellness to support both students and staff. That research became the heartbeat of Wholehearted Schools. I went on to serve as President of the Vermont School Counseling Association from 2019 to 2021, guiding the organization through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic and advocating for the evolving role of the school counselor.

I am also a certified yoga and meditation teacher with deep roots in mindfulness and body-based practices, bringing a whole-person lens to everything I create. My work centers on proactive, systems-level thinking around employee wellbeing through Wholehearted Schools, which includes Onward, a yearlong graduate-level emotional resiliency immersion for educators. Alongside this, I offer individual support through Wholehearted Counseling & Wellness, my private practice dedicated to helping people live more wholeheartedly. Most recently, I opened The Sanctuary, a community wellness space in Northfield, Vermont, where heart-led healing and education come to life.

Wholehearted Schools is growing, and I look forward to welcoming other heart-led educators to this community in the future.
