Are you struggling with: racing thoughts, anxiety, lack of focus and concentration? Are you having trouble sleeping at night? If so, clinical research has shown that yoga, mindfulness and psychotherapy are sometimes better solutions than medication. When things get overwhelming I can help you find ways to decrease stress and restore your energy. My goal is to guide you on a journey of self-fulfillment and true happiness. You will learn how to navigate chaotic situations by transforming old habits, thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve you.
Embracing a holistic health approach, I offer spiritual counseling, yoga, mindfulness, and energy healing, emphasizing prevention and the mind-body connection. My services extend to Internal Family Systems, Intimacy From The Inside Out (IFIO), Somatic IFS and Pain Reprocessing Therapy.
My integrative approach blends warmth and compassion, fostering a foundation for healing. Cody, my therapy dog, extends affection to all, enhancing the therapeutic environment. Every month, I lead a Yin Yoga for Healing series, aimed at releasing emotional trauma while promoting better sleep, mood and focus. You can join in person and virtually.
