Are you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, scattered, or weighed down by constant stress of life's challenges? You don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Yoga Therapist with over 14 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma, and stress. I’ve worked in community mental health, healthcare, schools, and private practice—bringing a compassionate, holistic approach to each client I serve. My passion is helping clients cultivate self-acceptance, inner strength, and deeper connection with themselves, their relationships and daily lives
I offer integrative therapy that combines psychotherapy with yoga therapy (EFT, postures, breathwork, somatic practices, vagus nerve exercises, guided meditation.) Together, we’ll calm your nervous system, release stored tension, improve focus, and help you feel more balanced, connected, and in control of your life. Flexibility/prior experience not required.
My goal is to provide a warm and inviting environment where clients feel seen, heard and accepted. I am committed to a holistic approach that is personalized for each client's needs and goals. If you're ready to reconnect with yourself and move toward a more grounded, peaceful life, I look forward to working with you.

I combine CBT with in-depth therapy to address unhelpful thought patterns and uncover the deeper roots of emotions and behaviors.
