I was born in rural Western New York State. Since I was young, I've felt drawn to nature and to the hidden things in life. Through my experiences in life, I've come to know (and make a practice of re-owning) some of the darkest and brightest parts of my personality. I've learned how to practice self-love even in the face of my own perceived unlovability. The benefits of this practice in my life have been, in their own ways, revolutionary.

Through my work, I hope to help others access more clarity within their own experience - and to do so with compassion, gentleness, and acceptance.
