Welcome. Thank you for being here. I offer a warm, person-centered environment where I work collaboratively with clients to help foster positive change that aligns with each person's values and goals. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD or grief, navigating a life transition or relational issues, or healing from trauma, chronic pain or illness, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your healing path. I utilize a trauma-informed approach to work with work with teens,adults and couples, and I am an ardent LGTBQIA+ and BIPOC ally who welcomes people from all cultural backgrounds.

Since we are all unique, I first strive to understand your life history, your current challenges, and your goals for therapy. I then utilize techniques, tailored specifically for you, that promote healing. My approach draws upon an eclectic blend of mindfulness and somatic therapies that is informed by over 20 years of teaching yoga and meditation.

I believe that everyone can heal and grow, and that having respectful, caring, and attentive support can facilitate profound transformation. If you are going through a challenging time and would like some support, I invite you to reach out. Together we can work towards creating positive change that helps you live a happier, more fulfilling life
