About My Clients

My somatic, mindfulness-based therapy practice instills hope and empowers individuals to find solutions within their lives. A change-oriented therapist that uses proven behavioral psychology techniques while drawing from her 30+ years of combined experience as a special education teacher, yoga and meditation instructor, and childbirth doula. I work collaboratively with those experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and interpersonal conflicts.

My Background and Approach

I am EMDR trained and work with negative cognitions and self talk and teach the trauma resiliency model (TRM) and tools for living a resilient life. I use somatic based therapies and the poly-vagal theory in therapy. I also teach yoga, breathing techniques, yoga nidra and meditation. I am a meditator and study and apply buddhist principles in my life. Client testimonial...."You truly care. I've never felt alone in this process, you're always right there beside me even when it's over a video chat. You do research on things outside of our sessions for the betterment of my treatment. And you share with me what you've learned knowing it will help me understand myself more and feel more at peace with myself."

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in EMDR to address negative cognitions.
