Lighthouse Creative Collaborative infuses heart-centered shared leadership, community building, and expressive arts to empower individuals to step into their power and shine their light. My background as a dance artist, educator, licensed mental health counselor, and board-certified dance/movement therapist brings a multifaceted approach to my educational outreach, community engagement projects, therapeutic interventions, and arts-based problem-solving initiatives. I integrate creative practices with mental health and suicide prevention strategies to support personal and community well-being. Holding myself and others accountable to the same, I believe growing and learning together in community is where we thrive.
