As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher, I have a deep understanding of the impact of trauma on the mind, body, and spirit. My experience in the field of social work and mental health, as well as my life experience, has allowed me to develop a great deal of respect and compassion for the clients I feel so lucky to work with. It takes self reflection and honesty to ask for help and begin or continue a healing journey, so I take great care to hold a space that is individualized to a client’s specific needs as well as rooted clinical expertise. 

In addition to clinical social work I am certified in the Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, EMDR, and Sand Play Therapy. I am passionate about bringing trauma informed somatic healing modalities into therapy as it can deepen the healing process and thus provide greater relief and expansion to my clients. I am a forever student of the human’s capacity for mental and emotional healing as well as nervous system regulation and therefore will continue to expand on my knowledge and learn new ways to help my clients.

In my free time I enjoy being and surrounding myself in nature. I love hiking, spending time at the beach, and watching my children play in the wonders of nature. My yoga practice is very important to me and has proven to be a helpful healing tool in my own journey.
