Tapestry Network
Just as a tree cannot grow in isolation apart from the earth’s elements and mycelial networks, so too Tapestry has emerged from and remains rooted in collaboration and community.

Gratitude & Acknowledgements
To my clients (past and present): Thank you for inviting me to be part of your journey. In your courage and willingness to know yourself, to share your story and face what’s hurting, you’ve touched my life and expanded my understanding. While I can’t (for obvious reasons) include your names here, you’re a central part of this Tapestry.
To my collaborators, mentors, and friends: Thank you for all you bring to my life and to Tapestry. So grateful to co-create and share in this work together.
To Jon Marro and Leigh Maneri: Thank you for your insightful creative direction and artistic work in the making of this website. You’ve been essential mid-wives in the birthing of this vision.
Lastly, while land acknowledgments are woefully insufficient, I hold deep gratitude to the land that has nurtured, held, and supported this work: Lenapehoking, the ancestral lands of the Lenape peoples, which settlers call New York City, as well as the occupied territory of the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) peoples, who were unjustly removed. I honor and acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded these lands for generations.
