My career experience has included working in law enforcement as a victim advocate, child welfare, and for the last decade I have worked as a medical social worker in inpatient hospital settings and outpatient community clinics. My professional training highlights include specialization in burnout, interpersonal and organizational trauma, family systems and couples therapy, leadership, employee engagement, and facilitation. I completed the ICEEFT Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in September 2022.
As a long-time practicing yogi, I decided to pursue my 200-hour yoga teaching certification and became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) in 2021. I specialize in restorative and yin yoga styles, focusing on bringing a calm and centered balance to our nervous system. When I am not working, you will find me enjoying reading, cooking, practicing yoga, watching documentaries, or hiking. I have a love for decorating and organizing to create spaces that feel efficient and relaxing.
