Journey to Wholeness: My Path to Healing

A simple meal sparked an epiphany. As my cat savored her chicken beside me, I was struck by a dissonance I could no longer ignore. This moment set me on a path to veganism, a journey that has since intertwined with every aspect of my life, including my profession.

My eclectic career—from guiding teens on a suicide hotline to bolstering soldiers' resilience, to enlightening as an English teacher—has been unified by a singular mission: fostering deep connections and healing. These varied experiences now infuse my private practice, where as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I blend somatic therapy with mindfulness to nurture mental wellness.

My training in Mind-Body Medicine enables a unique synthesis of therapeutic modalities, supporting clients through their personal and, increasingly, activist challenges. Whether navigating life's grief or championing social change, I offer a holistic approach that honors the individual's journey.

As my practice grows to meet the needs of today's changemakers, my commitment to compassionate, integrative care remains steadfast. If my story resonates with you, I invite you to join me in exploring a path to holistic well-being.

Mind and Body Integration

From my first Tai Chi and Qigong session 17 years ago, the deep connection between mind and body has fascinated me. This journey led me to a Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University, where I learned not just to understand this connection but to harness it for enhancing both mental and physical well-being.

My practice merges traditional psychotherapy with the wisdom of mind-body wellness, creating a space where healing involves the whole self. I believe in a relaxed, respectful approach that honors you for who you are, offering techniques that ground and empower you.

What I Offer:

Whole-Person Therapy: My therapy sessions are more than talk; they're about connecting your emotional and physical experiences for comprehensive healing.
Mindfulness and Relaxation: I teach skills for calming the mind and rejuvenating the body through practices like mindfulness meditation and qigong.
Support for Life’s Challenges: Whether it's navigating grief, anxiety, relationship hurdles, or existential questions, my approach is tailored to help adolescents and young adults find balance and direction.

My goal in every session is to inspire change through understanding, respect, and the transformative power of connecting mind and body.
