Seeking support is a deeply empowering act and I am here to help you on your healing journey. I believe that by working with the mind and the body, powerful connection and growth can occur. Have your worries impacted your ability to feel good in your body? Are you struggling in your relationships? Do you desire to learn new ways to engage with life’s complexities? By understanding the roots of our pain and distress, we can improve current circumstances and cultivate deeper fulfillment.
I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, trauma, and yoga for mental health. As a clinician and yoga teacher, I utilize a trauma-informed lens to prioritize the unique circumstances and identities of each individual, and integrate mindfulness, meditation, and somatic practices.
Writer Alexandra Elle said, “Do not feel guilty for prioritizing your emotional well-being. You deserve to flourish in safe spaces.” I fully recognize and honor the courage it takes to ask for help. If you are ready to heal in a safe space, I am ready to accompany you. We will uncover your path together, mindfully and with compassionate curiosity.
