about me

Licensed Therapist • Certified Hypnotherapist • Yoga & Meditation Teacher • Holistic Wellness Guide

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience—and for the past five years, I’ve specialized in treating anxiety disorders, including OCD. My passion for this work comes from personal experience. I’ve walked the path myself, navigating OCD-like symptoms and panic disorder, and I know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel. That lived experience gives me a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and a clear understanding of what truly helps. I don't just offer support—I guide from a place of knowing.

My approach blends Western psychology with Eastern philosophy. I integrate mindfulness, meditation, somatic work, and gentle yoga when appropriate. I’m also trained in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for anxiety and OCD. My sessions are practical and grounded—you’ll leave with tools, insights, and meaningful steps to take outside of therapy.

Beyond the therapy room, I regularly teach yoga and meditation, and I lead transformative retreats centered around mindfulness and holistic healing. I’m a proud mom of two amazing grown sons—my greatest accomplishment. I’m also a foodie who believes food is medicine, a nature enthusiast who finds peace in hiking and kayaking, and a homesteader raising chickens and growing a huge garden.

My mission is simple: to help you reconnect with yourself, move through the hardest parts of your journey, and find peace, resilience, and purpose along the way.
