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 fall apart I can help you find ways to use hard times to cultivate wisdom, compassion and courage. 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 IFS and Somatic IFS therapies. For individuals seeking clarity, I provide psychological and educational testing for ADHD and/or Autism among college students and adults.
My integrative approach blends warmth and compassion, fostering a foundation for healing. Little Lou, 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.
