My communication style

My communication style is warm, attentive, and intuitive. I follow the client’s experience while helping the session stay connected to what brought them to therapy. My tone is gentle and human, with space for emotion, reflection, and the mind-body awareness that is central to my practice.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist, I have seen how stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions can affect the nervous system. That work led me toward counseling because I wanted to support clients not only through mindfulness and body awareness, but also through deeper emotional and clinical work. My work brings those paths together.

My goals for you

We begin by clarifying what would feel meaningful to change, what has been heavy for you, and what you hope therapy can support. We identify goals for therapy and shape sessions around them, with attention to changes that feel realistic and sustainable. As therapy continues, we revisit your goals so the work stays connected to your needs.

Our first session

The first session is a warm, collaborative space to understand what brings you to therapy now. We explore what has shifted in your relationships, roles, health, emotions, or body responses. The conversation has structure, but it also leaves room for what feels most important to you.
