A relational designer builds relationship structures that work for the people in them.
I bring my background in Performance Studies—a field that brings together speech, action, and embodiment—to work with people, partners, and groups to build adaptable relationships. My emphasis is NOT necessarily toward restoration or repair, but to build broader systems of change.
As someone who believes in somatic abolition and imagination activism, I explicitly problematize mind/body relationships. What does our body argue? What are the limits if cognitive knowing?
I use games to explore systems of restraint and play to rehearse new ways of being.
No. This work is facilitation, not clinical care. Participants are encouraged to maintain external therapeutic or crisis support alongside this work.
Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and accessibility grounds my offerings and personal worldview. Groups expecting ideological neutrality may not be a good fit.
That's often a sign something real is being touched. Surfacing conflict frequently precedes repair. All sessions operate under an open-door policy — if you need to step back and take care of yourself, do it.
Generative conflict—a kind that moves toward equitable resolution—is the chrysalis through which relationships move to understand its constituent parts better. Generative conflict can occur when we slow down with intention to care.
Yes. Most work happens via Zoom for accessibility. In-person facilitation is available to LA-based groups by request, at a higher fee.
