Life’s path can be challenging, and finding a therapist who feels safe, understanding, and genuine can make all the difference.
My own journey, shaped by motherhood as a mother of six, personal loss and grief, and over a decade in yoga and wellness, has deepened my belief in the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
Following the painful loss of my son Benjamin, I devoted my career to helping others heal from trauma, grief, and life’s profound challenges through compassion-focused, somatic, and evidence-based approaches.
I now work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational struggles, offering a space grounded in empathy, inclusivity, and hope.
The path of life can feel challenging, and finding a therapist who feels safe, understanding, and genuine is an important step toward healing and growth…
My own journey as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) has been one of exploring the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit on the path toward wholeness and hope. As a mother of six sons, I’ve gained practical wisdom about family life, relationships, and the need for self-compassion—especially for women and mothers balancing many roles.
With over a decade of experience as an ERYT-500 yoga and wellness professional, I’ve developed a strong foundation in somatic and mindfulness-based practices that support emotional and physical well-being. My advanced training with Canmore Counseling’s Trauma-Informed Yoga School in Alberta, Canada, deepened my ability to integrate trauma-informed and compassionate approaches to healing.
However, my guiding intention for my work as a therapist has been primarily shaped by profound personal loss. In 2002, our fourth son, Benjamin, died unexpectedly—a tragedy that brought profound grief and post-traumatic stress. My healing process led me to study trauma, traumatic bereavement, and evidence-based treatments for PTSD and traumatic grief, including EMDR, CPT, and TF-CBT, as well as compassion-focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and advanced training in somatic and mindfulness interventions. These experiences continue to inspire my work with clients facing trauma and loss.
Life took many turns for me — later in life, I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Messiah University in Pennsylvania, a CACREP-accredited and spiritually-oriented program. I completed my education and training in the DC metro area, Colorado and Texas.
Through my work in diverse communities, I have vital experience working with individuals and couples navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational conflict through a multicultural, inclusive, and trauma-informed lens.
I believe every person holds a unique story and an innate capacity for connecting with themselves and others in their community.
My purpose is to walk alongside you as you rediscover hope and move toward your own sense of wholeness.
