Hello

Therapeutic Approach

​As a therapist I focus on empowering individuals and groups to learn skills that align with their personal values, highlight their strengths, explore identity, and work toward their personal goals. I am interested in topics such as maternal health, sexual health, sexual desire and function, gender and body dysphoria, substance use disorder, anxiety, depression and life transitions such as career shifts, children and perimenopause. I draw clinical inspiration from behavioral interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I often include a journal exercise as a home practice between sessions. 

I have a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art and over 15 years of professional experience in the art and music industries, in addition to being trained as an E-RYT 500 registered yoga teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance. I have extensively explored the modality of trauma-informed yoga over the last 10 years by attending various trainings and working on teams that lead trauma-informed yoga trainings. I use these practices in my private yoga sessions and in my daily life. In the community I teach restorative yoga, chair yoga, mindfulness-based art classes and morning mindfulness. I enjoy connecting the practice of mindfulness to art making, music, movement, meditation, and therapeutic practices.
