One of the best parts of being human is our ability to be curious. Curiosity likely brought you here. I have years of experience working with all ages, in the school system, out patient therapy, virtual therapy, yoga based therapy, and individuals, groups, and family. I attended the University of Maryland School of Social Work with a speciality in mental health. I am a 500hr RYT with experience in yoga psychology. I love creativity, spirituality, and enhancing one's relationship with self.

I have over 10 years experience within the mental health field with specific specialties in trauma-informed care, trauma-informed Yoga, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and integrative play therapy modalities with children. I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more. I am also a 200hr trained yoga instructor and am currently finishing up a 300hr yoga psychology training.

I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. To meet you where you are, listen to your story, and provide unconditional acceptance, compassion, and empathy to then move into positive change. I integrate a mind-body approach and bring awareness on how to effectively support you to live life fully. We cannot fully heal and grow on the conscious level; we must access parts of self that have been closed off and align our mind, body, and heart.
