Making decisions in a group can be challenging. A compassionate, skilled facilitator makes all the difference by holding a safe space in which participants feel emboldened to speak their truth, where active listening builds community and connection while embracing diverse views, and from which emerge satisfying solutions that integrate the varied needs of all participants. With over 25 years as a consulting cohousing architect, I have applied these skills to participatory design workshops, where future neighbors work together to define their visions and design their communities.

I am an NCARB-certified architect, registered in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, and a licensed construction supervisor in Massachusetts. I am a member of the NH AIA and the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association. Architects have a social responsibility to lead their clients to create low operational and embodied carbon buildings that provide living spaces free of toxic materials and chemicals. The design of the building envelope and specifications of interior finishes are factors of great importance to me. I have developed building envelope designs that incorporate non-petrochemical products, resulting in passive house standards, healthy environments, and lower embodied carbon buildings.
