I am a psychotherapist, yoga and philosophy teacher, writer, and Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern in Florida. As a therapist, I offer a holistic approach to mental health that blends ancient wisdom traditions with modern therapeutic techniques. I specialize in creating personalized therapeutic experiences that prioritize embodied well-being and emotional resilience.

Currently based in Orlando, Florida, I provide private counseling services, focusing on helping clients navigate life transitions, heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, reduce chronic stress, improve relationships, and overcome vocational challenges. My approach integrates mindfulness-based practices with evidence-based psychotherapies to help you achieve lasting change and greater peace.

Professional Background

I hold a MS in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Rochester, where I honed my skills in clinical practice. I completed my graduate practicum and internship at St. Joseph’s Neighborhood Center in Rochester, New York, where I worked with underinsured and uninsured adult populations. I also had the privilege of providing wellness support to survivors of human trafficking in Norway, as part of the Norwegian Red Cross, which deepened my understanding of trauma and healing.

Yoga & Philosophy Teaching

In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I have been teaching yoga and philosophy since 2004, guiding thousands of students through classes, workshops, and international retreats. I have had the honor of teaching in diverse settings, including Norway, Sweden, Nepal, India, Peru, and throughout the USA. My work as an educator is grounded in fostering clarity of perception and embodied harmony.

My Joys

When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying long walks with my husband beneath the grand southern live oaks of Florida, exploring local farmers markets, practicing yoga, weight training, or curling up with a good book. I am continually inspired by the teachings of Buddhism, yoga, psychology, and philosophy, which shape my ongoing learning and personal practice.

I am deeply committed to helping you find your path to well-being, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.
