Who I am:

I’m an experienced trainer, psychotherapist, and multidisciplinary artist who is passionate about neurobiology, applied improvisation, and blended interdisciplinary teaching. I have a varied and eclectic background that ranges from working in business communication/advertising to working as a therapist, running improv and circus programs for autistic youth, consulting, and more.

No matter where I’ve worked, there have always been a handful of consistent truths:

• Knowing something cognitively doesn’t inherently result in successful application (I.e. If I asked ten co-workers to identify what qualities result in successful communication, they’d likely identify many of the same qualities. And yet, those same ten people may be struggling to communicate with one another)

• Our nervous system impacts everything that we do (or don’t do), but is rarely acknowledged or understood

• Understanding ourselves and others is essential for effective communication, problem-solving, creativity, leadership, navigation of challenges, and more.

I created Yes And Brain to bring these elements together and to provide dynamic, innovative, and unique resources for professionals who want to go deeper than the traditional “sit and get” trainings to deeply change and guide the work they do. Whether you’re looking for 1:1 coaching and guidance, a stand-alone training for your organization, or a complete organizational design or overhaul - I can help.
