My passion is bringing people together, face-to-face, to experience and foster more effective communication, collaboration, and human connection.

I am a writer, a storyteller, a speaker, a listener, an artist, and a facilitator. People come to me to learn approaches that help them live into their fullest potential, using storytelling as a medium. The ability to tell a compelling story opens up powerful lines of communication that can make a difference in impact and confidence in all areas of one's life.

Sharing Inside Stories creates an opportunity for individuals to be acknowledged, seen, celebrated, and enabled to express themselves in their own voice on their own terms, sometimes for the first time.

I believe that fully expressed human beings are better equipped to make their contribution in the world. My goal is to help you get there.

I began my career as a workshop facilitator in 2007 integrating methodologies from my training in Vedantic philosophy, Gestalt psychotherapy, and numerous personal development models, with my passion for art, creative writing, and self-expression. When I began to delve into the world of public speaking and live storytelling, the guts of it clicked into place for me. Since then my approach has evolved. Storytelling became the medium and means by which to go deeper into my own work and that of my clients.

Inside Stories was born.

“I realized that the words are the only thing in my life that truly stood the test of time. I don’t save tchotchkes. I don't care much for trinkets. But I have saved over the years, in various boxes and vessels, every word I’ve ever written and many belonging to others as well. From my point of view, stories are all that really exist: within us, between us, around us. It is our interpretation and interaction with them, how we tap into, experience, and express them, that determines the shape and quality of our lives. Stories create empathy, understanding, and the possibility to see things from another perspective. I believe our shared stories serve to create a better world from which each of us can benefit."

Inside Stories strives to create a more compassionate and understanding world, safer for and inclusive of everyone, without exception.

I invite you to dive into your own stories, to boldly (or vulnerably) share them with the world and see what happens.
