I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My experience includes supporting clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and life situations. I began my career in behavioral health working directly with children and families in community settings, as well as the public health system. I continue to enjoy working with individuals across all ages and stages of life.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful trauma-focused therapy that helps clients process and resolve past distressing experiences. I also integrates mindfulness-based skills, body-mind techniques from my background as a yoga instructor, and other evidence-based approaches tailored to client needs. Her work is rooted in a client-centered, trauma-informed framework, ensuring each session meets clients where they are.

By drawing from these modalities, I create a personalized and supportive space where clients can process past experiences, improve emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful healing and growth.

I specialize in treating trauma, adverse experiences, anxiety, depression, dissociation, complex trauma, interpersonal relationship issues, family development, performance issues and self view.

My style is warm, collaborative, and personalized. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you in your healing process. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore, process, and grow at your own pace. I also bring in body-based practices, mindfulness, and strengths-based strategies that support healing from the inside out.

I deeply respect the role that culture, identity, and faith can play in a person’s life and healing. I create space for you to bring your values, beliefs, and background into therapy in whatever way feels right for you. My role is to listen, honor your perspective, and support your growth in a way that aligns with your values, faith or spiritual approach to who you are.

I provide traditional ongoing therapy sessions that are typically 50–55 minutes in length, these sessions are scheduled weekly, bi-weekly or as often as scheduling allows and is needed.

With an attachment focused lens we work to create deeper connections and care in the relationship attending to attachment/relationship ruptures and create space for healing.

What sets me apart is my integrative approach to healing—I combine trauma-informed therapy with mindfulness, somatic practices, and wellness-based tools. My background as a yoga teacher allows me to support the connection between mind and body, which can be a powerful part of the healing process. I’m passionate about helping people tap into their strengths, build resilience, and feel more connected to themselves and others.

I have experience working with many life issues including, grief, loss, life transitions, career development, performance concerns, and behavioral addictions.

I meet you where you are and develop a comprehensive plan that suits your goals. Using known methods, best practices and evidence based therapies, I teach, provide skills, remind you of your resilience & strengths, become curious, consult, counsel and provide therapy for symptoms that interfere with your happiness and day to day life.

Our first session is a chance to begin getting to know each other and to create a foundation of safety and understanding. We’ll start by reviewing the service agreement, informed consent, and other important information about your rights and confidentiality.

After that, we’ll begin a comprehensive assessment to better understand your needs, strengths, and goals. This process helps us clarify what’s been happening in your life and how I can best support you moving forward.

Although the assessment will have some structure, you are welcome to share at your own pace — there’s no rush. The goal of this first meeting is to start building a collaborative partnership focused on your healing and growth.
