My journey toward healing

Self-understanding has been a journey of compassion, clarity and growth. Over time and through my journey with therapy, I’ve come to see that every experience, both joyful and painful, has led me closer to my authentic self.

I’ve been a yoga teacher, a business owner, an entrepreneur and a stay-at-home mom. I am also a daughter, sister, mother, wife, partner and friend, and through it all, a lifelong learner with an unshakable curiosity for growth.

Today, as a psychotherapist, I continue to study, reflect, and evolve, guided by a deep passion for helping others feel seen, understood, and empowered.

Everyone’s Healing Journey is Unique

And it begins with a space that feels safe and steady. Through exploration and evidence-based approaches, we work together to understand your patterns and build a deeper sense of stability and self-trust.

Integrative approaches blend techniques in a way that feels natural and intuitive, supporting the mind, body and inner world as a whole. Rather than applying a single method, the integrative approach draws from a range of therapeutic perspectives to help you gain clarity, move through challenges and build lasting inner stability.
