Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist at Ananda Holistic Healing LLC; where I provide personalized therapy that addresses mind, body, and spirit. I combine traditional psychotherapy with holistic orientations-- including spirituality based counseling with an inner child and trauma-informed lens, somatic practices, relational skill-building and wellness lifestyle support. I create an individualized approach for each client. My goal is to help you find clarity, balance, and sustainable growth in your life.

My approach to therapy

I view therapy as a collaborative, tailored process. I draw from a variety of evidence-based and holistic tools to support your unique needs. This may include talk therapy for emotional processing, somatic techniques for grounding and regulation, insight and self-inquiry through spiritual and relational lenses, and wellness support for sleep, nutrition, and movement. Every session is designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward past stuck points with clarity and resilience.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave our work with greater self-understanding, emotional and cognitive awareness, and practice steps for navigating life's challenges. They develop stronger relationships with themselves and others, improve lifestyle habits that support well-being, and gain alignment with their personal path and purpose. My goal is for each person to leave feeling empowered, grounded, and equipped with strategies that work both in the moment and for long-term growth.
