“Kids do well if they can.” - Ross Greene

I believe in this mantra with every fiber of my being. If a kid is not doing well, it is because they lack the skills needed to tackle whatever obstacle it is they are trying to overcome. I am passionate about building relationships as the foundation to cultivate a safe space of authentic learning to occur. Within this safe space, kids are able to quiet the distractions of life and connect to their hearts and minds, explore new ways of being, and feel empowered to make change. I have a Master of Science and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in School Psychology. I am also a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens Trainer and Yoga Teacher. I have experience working with young people with a range of challenges including learning differences, mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, substance use challenges, self-harm behaviors, executive functioning challenges that arise from disorders such as ADHD and Autism, as well as those looking to develop more positive coping skills to navigate the stress they encounter in life. I am well versed in psychoeducational assessments and evaluations, as well as the laws and regulations public education settings are required to follow. It is critical to me that every single student is afforded an equitable opportunity for learning, while being treated with kindness and dignity. I strive to be culturally sensitive & operate from a person-first perspective. I am solution-focused and holistic in my approach when working with my clients. I operate from a wellness-based perspective, and enjoy connecting with people outside as much as possible. Please reach out if you think you or your child may benefit from working with me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, as well as have a free, initial consultation to see if we are a good match. In the meantime, I wish you peace and joy in this very moment.

💛 Again and again, this beautiful practice of yoga has brought me back to myself. Through presence, patience, and trust, it has taught me how to move with my nervous system instead of against it.

✨ I want to help you to create this same space for yourself, which is why I am so excited to offer a new experience called Somatic Yoga For Women!

🧘‍♀️ This six-week series is designed to support gentle reconnection with your body through intuitive, nourishing movement, breathwork, and mindful yoga. Each 75-minute session invites you to release tension, build awareness from the inside out, and restore a sense of ease and safety within your body. With only 8–10 women per group, you will receive individualized guidance in a supportive space that honors your pace, your story, and your needs.

This series is for any woman longing for a gentle, empowering, and restorative approach to yoga, both on and off the mat! Save the date for our first session:

📅 January 5 – February 9, 2026

🤔 I was talking with a client about the emotions that challenge me most, and he was surprised when I said it wasn’t anger or sadness or even boredom. Those emotions have wisdom, and they’re often what guide me back to movement, because the body holds what the mind cannot carry alone.

Someone recently told me they exercise for the same reason “everyone does,” which in his words was to look good naked. I laughed, because that has never been my reason.

I move my body to model strength and health for my kids, to keep up with the people I love, to honor this one life and this one body I’ve been given, and to feel capable in my own skin. I move to stay mentally well, to let emotions release instead of stagnate, and to keep climbing every dang mountain that calls my name.

💛 Let this be a reminder to notice what movement does for your emotional landscape, not just your physical one.

🍂 Nesting November carried a different rhythm this year, one that asked me to slow down in ways I did not realize I needed. I found myself lingering in silence a little longer, staying consistent with my small rituals, and giving myself permission to move through each day with more intention. The more I softened my pace, the more I noticed how much ease was available when I wasn’t rushing to keep up with anything other than my own breath.

This month reminded me in more ways than one that tending to myself in simple, meaningful ways creates a ripple effect through every part of my life. I truly made space for it, and in doing so, I felt more grounded and more clear than I have in a long time. As November comes to an end, I am grateful for the steadiness it offered and the clarity that came from slowing down enough to feel present in my own life.

💛 What did you do to tend to yourself this month? And if you find it hard to answer, my friend…start now.

🍂 There is something sacred about working with what has already lived its season. Life, death, rest, and renewal all belong to the same cycle, and there is beauty in honoring each part. As the Earth settles into her long exhale for the colder season, we are invited to settle in as well.

Taking time to gather what the season leaves behind or creating something simple with your own hands can become its own form of self-care. This small ritual helped me slow down, focus on one thing at a time, and meet myself with softness instead of urgency.

💛 As we move toward Thanksgiving and the swirl of the holidays, may we carry that same steadiness with us, giving ourselves more grace than pressure and allowing ourselves to be present with what is right in front of us.

🧘‍♀️ Join me for another yoga session 11/25 at 6:30pm!

This class gives you a chance to reset, shake off the day, release whatever you’ve been carrying, and let movement create space where tension once lived.

My favorite part is watching women rise from their mats feeling lighter, softer, and more at ease in themselves. It’s a privilege to hold space for this once a month, and I’m grateful for every woman who chooses to show up for herself in this way.

💚 So many people come to me and say, “breathing doesn’t work for me.” And I get it, because for a long time, I believed that too.

But I’m here to tell you that if it “doesn’t work for you,” you probably aren’t doing it right. Yes. I said it. Bold, I know. I once had a yoga teacher tell me she became a teacher just to teach people how to breathe, and 20-something me thought that was ridiculous. Now? I get it — and I love teaching people how to breathe in a way that truly shifts their nervous system.

Here are two of my favorite starting techniques:
✨ Box Breathing — inhale, hold, exhale, and hold for the same count each time. Repeat 8–10 rounds.
🌿 Nadi Shodhana — place your peace fingers on your third eye and use your thumb and ring finger to alternate blocking each nostril.

💛 I invite you to practice these each day. The more familiar your body becomes with intentional breathing, the more powerful these tools become.

💛 Every parent makes mistakes! We all lose patience, raise our voices, or react in ways we wish we hadn’t. Many parents believe conflict is what harms their child, yet what truly matters is how we return to our children afterward.

Modeling how we repair an explosive emotion, whether that’s apologizing or talking through your feelings out loud, shows them that love does not disappear when things get hard.

It’s through repair that children develop trust, resilience, and an understanding that relationships can hold both conflict and care even when emotions spill over.

💬 How do you practice repair in your home when things don’t go as planned?
