Focused on Trauma

As a licensed clinical mental health counselor trained at Northwestern University, I have devoted my career to understanding and addressing the complexities of developmental trauma.

With extensive post-graduate training in mental health and mind-body interventions, I have spent years guiding clients toward resilience and growth, helping them reconnect with their strengths and move forward with greater self-awareness and empowerment.

In addition to my work with individuals, I am deeply passionate about attachment theory and its profound role in shaping child development. Understanding how secure attachments foster emotional resilience and healthy relationships drives my work. I am dedicated to educating parents about the critical stages of child development, empowering them to nurture strong, meaningful bonds that lay the foundation for their child’s lifelong well-being.

East Meets West

For over a decade, I’ve immersed myself in studying Eastern and Indian philosophical traditions alongside Western psychology, driven by a deep curiosity about the human condition and a desire to uncover the essential components of effective healing.

I am profoundly grateful to my mentors and the numerous researchers whose groundbreaking work has been invaluable to my journey.

Yoga for Well-Being

Along this journey, I became a Certified Kripalu® Yoga in Schools Teacher (KYIS) evidence-based curriculum, completed a 350 hours of yoga teacher training at Kripalu, and earned certification as a Radiance Sutras® Instinctive Meditation Teacher.

These experiences have deeply shaped my understanding and commitment to integrating ancient wisdom and modern practices to foster growth, connection, and well-being.

No matter what your situation, there is always hope.

We have the remarkable ability to grow, adjust, and evolve to a place of wellness.
