My Services

Mental Health Counseling
I am here to process and navigate whatever is challenging you in life. Sessions with me are dynamic, relational, and collaborative. I understand that not every person responds to the same therapy modality and therefore utilize an ecletic approach in each session. Many of my clients are neurodivergent and appreciate the neuro-affirming modalities we use together. Sessions include any combination of ecotherapy, yoga therapy, and sound healing.
I practice from the framework that all beings are inherently good and therefore there is nothing to fix. Our sessions will focus on empowering you to live a life that is in balance and in alignment with your desires and dreams. I worked from a spiritual, somatic, justice-oriented, and compassionate approach.
I welcome working with other health care providers (psychiatrists, coaches, reiki practitioners, massage therapists, etc.) to ensure that you are feeling balanced and supported in your therapeutic journey.

Somatic Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy utilizes somatic (body based) movement, breathing techniques, visualizations, meditations, and philosophy from the most ancient spiritual tradition of Yoga. Somatic knowing has been lost and forgotten in our culture that relies so heavily on the mind for information. In Yoga therapy, we bring a gentle, mindful awareness to the body. I recognize that this may not come easily for some folks and therefore we collaborate on ways to meet your body-knowing where it is at.
As a certified Yoga therapist and Yoga teacher, I enjoy combining Yoga therapy and Mental Health Counseling because the two disciplines complement one another and allows the therapy process to be experienced without words. Instead, we rely on the inherent intelligence and wisdom of your body.
A Yoga therapy session may look like an embodiment practice on the mat, trying out a new breathing exercise to regulate your nervous system, or infusing the wisdom of Yoga philosophy into whatever is calling to you in session that day.
My approach to Yoga therapy is trauma-informed and for all bodies. My style of yoga is a combination of hatha and yin yoga.
-
Ecotherapy
Ecotherapy, also known as applied ecopsychology, brings nature and our primal connection with the Earth to the forefront of therapy. Ecotherapy recognizes that our severance from the earth is what causes states of anxiety, depression, addiction, as well as other mental health stressors.
I weave ecotherapy into virtual sessions through nature based meditations, ecosomatic practices, and more. Clients find it to be helpful to sit outside in their own bioregion to experience the full benefits of an ecotherapy session.
I acknowledge that I live and practice on the spiritual and ancestral lands of the indigenous Lenape people.
-
Sound Healing
Sound healing is a powerful therapeutic tool that incorporates instruments to bring balance to your body, mind, and spirit. Sound has been used for thousands of years as a way to connect with our body and spirit.
Various sound healing instruments are used to allow for deeper meditations and experiences within yoga therapy sessions, which include crystal singing bowls, wind chimes, tuning forks, tongue drum, and frame drums.
I also welcome inquiries for group sound healing sessions.

Holistic Coaching
Coaching is a way to offer direction and intention to whatever brings you to the session. This is different than therapy because we focus less on the past and instead find strategies that best work for you in the present moment. Topics that are explored in coaching sessions include and are not limited to:
Navigating life transitions
Embracing neurodivergence
Stress/Anxiety
Exploring spiritual paths
Yoga Therapy
Connecting to nature and processing eco grief/anxiety
Rites of Passage work and ceremony
