Find Your Path To Healing And Growth

My Approach Integrates:

What Makes My Approach Different
I integrate somatic, body-centered healing with mindfulness practice. Trauma lives in both mind and body—and lasting change requires addressing both.
My therapeutic style uniquely integrates Eastern mindfulness practices with Western psychological techniques.
Having practiced mindfulness meditation since my early twenties, I bring this foundation to every aspect of my work.
