With me, clients will find a space to unpack their experiences, discover inner wisdom that was always there, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Having walked both paths as a yoga teacher and therapist, I understand that real change happens when we connect with both our minds and bodies in healing. I create a warm, inviting space where we can explore life’s challenges together, translating complex emotional experiences into practical insights and actionable tools that you can use in your daily life.
I believe that everyone deserves a place where they can feel truly heard and understood. In our sessions, I’ll gently guide you to explore your personal story and the questions that matter most to you—often the ones that have been quietly waiting to be asked. While we work through deeper patterns and emotions, I’ll also equip you with concrete skills and strategies to help you feel better and more in control, especially during moments of distress.
I specialize in working with adults and older teens who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma (including C-PTSD), life transitions, and relationship challenges. I am also particularly passionate about supporting parents and families through life transitions, such as divorce, peri/postpartum, blending families and more. My personal journey has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with creating new family dynamics.
What makes my approach unique is the way I blend traditional therapy methods like psychodynamic therapy, DBT and IFS with body-based somatic practices. This holistic combination of practical skills and somatic work is especially helpful if you’re looking to better manage emotions and stress in the moment, heal from past trauma while building resilience, improve your relationships through better communication, or navigate family transitions and parenting challenges. Together, we can help you find more balance in your daily life, connect with your authentic self, and develop practical coping strategies that really work.
The relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of meaningful change. With me, clients will find a space to unpack their experiences, discover inner wisdom that was always there, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. My approach particularly resonates with those who are ready for deep, introspective work and meaningful life changes. Together, we’ll create an individualized plan that combines deep healing work with practical tools you can start using right away. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
Waking up late in a very cozy bed at a lake house with my partner, the hot sun full up in the sky, looking forward to a day of boating, stand-up paddle, water skiing, our kids tubing & jumping into the water, and lots of tasty food that someone else makes for me!
I have done a lot of inner work to heal generational trauma, to become the parent to myself, and to my son, that my ancestors couldn’t always be for each other. I’m also pretty proud of a TED talk I gave in 2014, and I make really delicious chickpea curry as well!
Painting with wax. It’s called encaustic painting, and it’s an ancient Greek technique of using resins, beeswax, and pigments to create images on canvas or wood.
Seeing peoples’ growth and healing. It is a deep privilege to be able to witness that and sit with people as they do work to uncover and become freer in themselves.
Every summer when I was a kid I used to go with my parents & sister, and my maternal grandparents, to the Jersey shore in Wildwood. We would always have the best fun on the beach, going to the boardwalk, and spending time all together. I was always happiest there! Now, my parents & sister’s family & I go on vacation every summer to Maine. We each bring our kids and it’s turning into my son’s favorite memory! (Cue Lion King “Circle of Life” song here!)
