I am a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman whose ADHD was masked under a lifetime of trying to “be good”. Growing up in a strict religious community disconnected me from my body, my emotions, and the full spectrum of human sensuality. I am intimately aware of how lonely and crushing it can feel when you realize you can't shrink into the narrow role society wants you to perform.
 

I earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees in occupational therapy from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. I hold certifications in the Safe and Sound Protocol and intuitive eating. I work with clients privately and through The Center for Connection, a multidisciplinary practice in Pasadena, California. 

 

My personal healing has been a process of relearning self-trust and reconnecting with the wonder of my human body--all its pain, strangeness, pleasure, and mystery. I love supporting women in structuring their lives around activities that reflect their values. My core values of presence, love, and fun form the heart of my practice and create a space where connection to self is possible. I weave meditation and elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my approach. To read more about my philosophy, click here.
