Practice Description

I know it can be scary to reach out for help, especially in a culture that tells us we should be able to solve our problems on our own and, if we can't, there is something wrong with us. Well, I'm here to challenge that culture that values independence more than interdependence, because as humans we are designed to be connected with others in relationships. And sometimes the first relationship that needs our focused attention is the one we have with ourselves in order to 'show up' in our relationships with others.

Knowing humans grow in healthy, reciprocal relationships and wilt when experiencing disconnection, I take a holistic and systemic, relational view. As a long-time yoga and meditation practitioner, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and psychotherapist, my approach is founded on the integration of emotional, physical, psychological, and spiritual well-being.

As no two people are the same, I let my clients lead as I set the intention to create a sacred, safe space within which they can experience radical acceptance, deep presence, and unconditional love and then provide gentle guidance towards internal resources to recreate that experience for themselves.
