A little background...

---

I am passionate about helping individuals reconnect with their inner wisdom and regain a sense of alignment with their joy.  My work centers on offering insight, compassion, and practical tools that support lasting growth, healing, and balance.

With over 20 years of study and practice in Buddhism, Eastern contemplative traditions, meditation, mindfulness and yoga, I bring a holistic and grounded approach to personal transformation. In addition, I have more than 22 years of experience working in the Alzheimer’s and dementia space, supporting individuals and families with empathy, patience, and deep understanding.

My love for therapy and wellness began after my Mom's brain aneurysm in 2003. When navigating the struggles of becoming her caregiver, I saught healing in therapy, yoga, meditation and other somatic practices. As I practiced and became stronger in my own mental health journey, I wanted to share that with others and help them navigate their way back to themselves. I have done this with my company Dementia Yoga, as well as through a dementia caregiver support group that I ran for over 10 years. 

I welcome clients from all backgrounds that have a desire to live a life more fully alive, but I specialize in trauma, anxiety, caregiver burnout and MCI (mild cognitive impairment).
