I am currently open to new clients. Are you struggling to find clarity of mind amidst life's challenges? Whether you're dealing with depression, overwhelming feelings, anxiety, or facing relationship conflicts, I'm here to assist you. Life can be tough, and during these times, we might find ourselves stuck in negative thinking or behavior patterns that only add more stress to our struggles. Through a Mindfulness-Compassionate approach, I'll help you transition from reacting to painful emotions to responding in ways that promote wisdom and well-being. This transformation can lead to healthier choices and a more joyful, balanced life.

As a Certified Imago Therapist, I believe safety and compassion are essential to help partners move from power struggles into intimate and loving connection. Communicating from the heart (listen, understand & empathize with each other) helps both partners reconnect with joy, intimacy and passion which helps us create healthy and happy relationships.

As a Certified Mindfulness & Yoga Teacher, I help you connect with inner wisdom and compassion. This helps us heal and reconnect with life, in a way that is balanced and awakens joy. I encourage you to call/email me today. I'll help you create an empowered, balanced & joyful life!
