Do you ever feel disconnected from your body? Or too much in your body it’s uncomfortable? Maybe you find yourself too much in your head, ruminating about everything until you realize how much time has passed. Societal messaging about how we should show up in our bodies and how we should look and express ourselves may feel disconnected from, who you want to be and how you want to show up. The anxiety that arises with trying to navigate who we are in a complex world can feel overwhelming.
Specialties
I am a trauma informed certified yoga teacher and therapist (500 hours). Yoga is a great addition to talk therapy. The body holds emotions and trauma that sometimes our brains haven't even processed or consciously aware of. Working with the body can calm the nervous system and teach us about safety, boundaries, and connection.
I use ERP to treat anxiety disorders and OCD. ERP is a type of CBT, that works on changing behaviors and managing unpleasant thoughts and feelings. We take the time to expose yourself to the anxiety without engaging in safety behaviors and/or compulsions. Through exposure we are training the brain to face fears despite anxiety being present, and when we prevent compulsions we train the brain that the feared stimulus isn't worth the extra time and energy. Let's be brave together.
I use ACT to practice bringing distance to our thoughts so that we can implement compassion and acceptance practices that align with our values in our daily lives.
Specialties
I use CBT (Exposure Therapy), ACT, and RO-DBT to treat general anxiety, performance anxiety, perfectionism, over-control, anxiety, OCD, and social anxiety. Yoga therapy can also be utilized.

I work with clients on challenging the societal myths about body image, help clients feel empowered in making choices for themselves in how they want to show up in their body. I use a combination of narrative, CBT, ERP, Yoga, and art approaches.
As someone with ADHD myself I get the struggle of navigating a world that doesn't always fit our needs, and feeling tired in having to keep up. I am working towards completing my certification as a Certified ADHD Professional

Join The GroupBody Image Issues, Eating Disorder, PTSD
The movement and mindfulness practices in Body Kindness Yoga are aimed at building interoceptive awareness (the process of sensing what is happening in the body). When we can sense what is happening in the body in the moment it can foster a sense of self-agency (the ability to influence our thoughts, feelings and actions). This can support a greater sense of well-being and set the foundation for positive embodiment.
