Mindfulness
I believe that caring for our mental and emotional well-being is deeply connected to caring for our bodies. Mindfulness offers a way to slow down, increase awareness, and cultivate greater calm, presence, and connection.
My own mindfulness journey began with yoga more than 20 years ago. During my graduate training in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northwestern University, I was introduced more formally to mindfulness and meditation and their applications in supporting mental and emotional well-being.
Since then, mindfulness has become an important part of both my personal and professional life. I practice daily meditation, weekly yoga, and I use mindfulness practices in my work with clients to help support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and develop greater awareness of thoughts, feelings, and patterns.
I am a trained yoga teacher and enjoy sharing accessible mindfulness and mind-body practices that can be incorporated into everyday life. My goal is to help clients create opportunities to slow down, reconnect, and become more present in their lives.

“Being conscientious and intentional in what we do, being open and creative with possibilities, or being aware of the present moment without grasping onto judgments-being mindful is a state of awareness that enables us to be flexible and receptive and to have presence."
Siegel, The Mindful Therapist
“If there is no stillness, there is no silence. If there is no silence, there is no insight. If there is no insight, there is no clarity."
