About Me
I come to this work as someone who has navigated trauma, chronic illness, breast cancer, emotional eating, and long seasons of disconnection from my body. I understand the longing for safety, steadiness, and a more compassionate relationship with oneself.
My Training
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and have studied mindfulness meditation, trauma-informed, and somatic approaches. My certifications include:
Hakomi Mindfulness-Centered Somatic Psychotherapy Practitioner Certification
Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield
Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training for Professionals with Jane Kristeller and Andrea Lieberstein
Certificate of Advanced Graduate in Expressive Arts, Salve Regina University
Certified Eating Psychology Coach, the Institute for the Psychology of Eating with Mark David
Health Coach Certificate, Institute for Integrative Nutrition
Advanced Training for the Treatment of Trauma, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute
My Approach
Rather than offering a single method or quick fix, I weave these approaches together with deep respect for the body’s wisdom and the nervous system’s needs.
Healing, as I understand it, unfolds when we feel safe enough to slow down, listen, and respond with kindness rather than force. My role is to walk beside you, offering steadiness, clarity, and care.
