​Born and raised in Southern California, I worked in the financial field for American Express in San Francisco, San Diego, and then transferred to Atlanta. After a successful career there, I followed my heart to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (State of Georgia LPC #4336) and opened Lift Yoga Studio in Alpharetta, blending the best of mind-body healing for my students and clients. 

I've been a yoga practitioner for over 40 years and have earned the highest credentials in the yoga industry as an Experienced 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and an 800-hour Certified Yoga Therapist.  I teach as an International Fitness Instructor for FitBodies Inc. and have trained over 100 yoga teachers to become Certified 200-hour yoga teachers.  All of this being said, the practical skills of movement, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness are taught to many of my clients to help them become grounded, present, and happier.

For more than 15 years, I've been a licensed psychotherapist and I love working with individuals, whether in-person or by video conferencing.  Having also worked as a college counselor, my clients range from college students to busy business executives, stay-at-home moms, physically challenged individuals, military to retirees, and more.

My mission is to help you to find wholeness in your body, mind, and your life.  As an integrative and somatic psychotherapist, I am uniquely qualified to help you to find balance in these areas when talking alone will not suffice. 

Join me on the journey of self-discovery and lasting change...
