Where We Can Begin
Across all areas of my work, I focus on helping people and systems move toward a higher quality of life, whether through individual healing, improved emotional regulation, or more supportive and resilient environments.
You don’t need to have everything figured out — just a place to start.
Trauma-informed therapy for adults navigating anxiety, PTSD, relational and developmental trauma, and life transitions.
This work is collaborative and paced according to your readiness, supporting emotional regulation, deeper processing, and long-term healing.
I see clients in-person at my Jacksonville Beach location and virtually throughout the state of Florida.
Trauma-informed consultation for organizations, leadership teams, and workforce environments.
This work focuses on strengthening communication, supporting staff wellness, and building more resilient, sustainable systems of care.
I support organizations locally and across the country.
I offer trauma-informed yoga for groups, organizations, and workplace settings, as well as yoga classes and wellness experiences designed to reduce stress, build connection, and promote overall well-being. Sessions can be tailored to the needs of your group or organization.
Mindfulness, Yoga, & Somatic Support
Supporting connection between mind, body, and emotional regulation
I am also a certified E-RYT trauma-informed yoga teacher with over 15 years of experience. My background in yoga and mindfulness continues to shape the way I approach nervous system regulation, grounding, body awareness, and emotional support in both clinical and organizational settings.
This work reinforces the connection between mind and body while offering additional tools for regulation, present-moment awareness, and sustainable self-care practices when appropriate.
In addition to therapy and consultative services, I may also offer private yoga, mindfulness-based support, or small group experiences for individuals, teams, and organizations seeking more intentional support around stress reduction, nervous system care, and wellness-centered connection.
If this approach feels like a fit, there are two ways we can begin:
'The tools I've gained have changed my life completely.'
