As an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings training in family systems and relational dynamics to individual work, and she complements clinical practice with additional training as a certified kundalini yoga instructor and sound healer. Kundalini yoga emphasizes breath, movement, and meditation, while sound healing uses tones and vibration to promote relaxation and grounding; these modalities are integrated when appropriate alongside evidence-informed psychotherapy.

She views clients as the experts of their own stories and focuses on identifying strengths and resources that support change. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and honors each step clients take toward growth and healing.
