Please describe your professional experience (this will be used on Therapist Finder)
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trained yoga instructor passionate about supporting people on their journey through various evidence-based modalities.
I have been licensed as a clinical social worker for over twenty years, currently hold a role at Stanford Medicine and previously served as Clinical Director at a local non-profit providing school-based counseling services. I have participated in academic research and have presented at various national conferences on topics related to mental health and chronic illness as well as healthcare professional wellbeing. I work from a trauma-informed and multi-theoretical perspective. I value providing LGBTQIA+ affirming care.
My yoga offerings include individual and group sessions for people seeking a more holistic experience - one that integrates mindfulness of body, breath, mind and emotions. Since being trained, I have provided sessions to people impacted by chronic illness, healthcare professionals, and holistic studio-style classes. My own personal experience with yoga as a conduit to insight inspired me to offer the same to others. I continue with and deeply value my own personal yoga practice.
On a personal note, I am a single parent of two young women and have navigated my own personal experience with a major medical illness. I have a love of the great outdoors and every possible active way to enjoy my beautiful Northern California surroundings.
