About Me

Great to meet you! With 15+ years of experience in service in the community I have worked with a variety of individuals from trauma survivors, to young adults, people in the LGBTQ community, people of color, and other various social background.

As a yoga instructor and counselor, I am often asking my clients to acknowledge any uncomfortable feelings that come up in a the moment, so that they might gain a better understanding of them and begin to proceed past it. I ask them to stay mindful of any negative thoughts/emotions going on their head and if they can instead focus on their breath, remind themselves this moment is not permanent, and to maybe even smile through it.

I hope to co-create therapy as a space for healing and growth; a place to uncover your strengths and passions, and to learn how to navigate through life in alignment with your values. I like to assign things to work on in between session and then to review how it went during the next session. I do so in a non-judgmental way in hopes of securing a better sense of self. Feel free to reach out to me with questions.
