Theater, Teaching, and Artistic Practice
My work in theater is rooted in the belief that storytelling can deepen our understanding of ourselves, one another, and the world we inhabit.
As an educator, playwright, performer, and director, I create spaces for artistic exploration, collaboration, and critical inquiry. My work moves between the classroom, the rehearsal room, and community settings, with a particular interest in how performance can illuminate questions of identity, power, belonging, and social transformation.
Whether I'm developing an original play, facilitating a workshop, or working with students, I'm interested in theater's capacity to help us encounter perspectives beyond our own and imagine new possibilities for how we live together.

My approach to Astrology and Numerology
My approach is grounded, relational, and attentive to timing.
I’m interested in what becomes visible when we slow down enough to tell the truth about what’s happening, internally and externally, without rushing toward resolution or bypassing difficulty.
In session, we work with astrology and numerology as orienting tools. They help name cycles of change, moments of contraction or emergence, and the ethical choices that tend to accompany them.
The goal isn’t certainty. It’s clarity, and the capacity to remain present with what that clarity asks of us.
I bring both technical rigor and intuitive listening to this work. I’m attentive to structure, lineage, and tradition, while also honoring what arises organically in conversation. What matters most to me is whether the work helps you stay in relationship with your life — rather than retreat from it.
This is a practice rooted in care, responsibility, and respect for complexity. I trust your intelligence. I trust your capacity to choose. My role is to help you see more clearly what’s already moving, and to support you in meeting it with steadiness and courage.
Working with me
Sessions are spacious and focused, designed to support clarity rather than overwhelm. We move at a pace that allows what’s true to surface without force.
The work is conversational, grounded and confidential.
What matters most to me is that you leave feeling more oriented inside your life: clearer about what you’re carrying, what you’re releasing, and what you’re being asked to tend next.
If this approach resonates, you’re welcome to explore working together when you feel ready.
