If you’re a goal chaser with a practical side and a woo-woo streak, I’m the holistic therapist for you.

After years of self-healing, education, and supporting diverse clients, I know this for sure:

To finally create a life that feels calm, fulfilling, and aligned with the whole you, you need to heal

every part of you.

I started this holistic practice to create the therapy experience that I wish I’d had – one that balances practical science-backed methods and time-tested spiritual practices. By treating both sides of your true nature, my mission is to ignite your inner power and guide you to a life of more resilience, ease, joy, and flow.

More About The Method

It turns out raising the bar was never the answer.

As a high school student quietly battling depression, I chased achievement for those quick hits of pride and joy. But I kept needing more, so I kept doing more, even when I felt burnout coming on.

Because I didn’t know what else I could possibly do.

I thought I – with my challenging feelings and complicated internal world – was the problem.

It wasn’t until I met my first therapist that I realized talking about my emotions wasn’t just ok, it was the first step to creating the peaceful, joy-filled life I’d been dreaming of.

From that moment on, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life.

15 years, two degrees, and countless hours of internal exploration later, I’m a spiritual therapist offering services online and in-person in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

Every day, I get to use holistic counseling to help my clients find fulfillment within. Outside work, I’ve created a calm, aligned life that fills me up.

And while there are no overnight fixes on the healing journey…

I’m confident I can guide you to your most authentic, peaceful, & resilient life.

I believe…

Wellness basics aren’t basic.

Call it a cliche, but I’m never far from my 32-oz water bottle. I believe in setting a self-care foundation that may seem “obvious,” but with consistency, will make a night-and-day difference.

The “why” matters.

As a life-long learner myself, I’d never recommend a technique or lifestyle change without explaining the neuroscience or spiritual philosophy behind it – usually, there’s a bit of both!

Guiding you is a privilege.

Sharing your innermost thoughts is always confronting, and I am honored when you trust me to offer guidance. I’m committed to creating a space that makes you feel safe to bring every facet of yourself, and I’ll always bring my listening ear.

Therapy is collaborative

No matter how much experience and knowledge I have, I’m not an expert in your life! I trust you know the best ways to apply my suggestions to your reality – and your feedback and honesty help me personalize our sessions to your needs

A bit more about me…

Because I’m an open book, and more importantly, no trusting relationship is a one-way street.

I swear by

Beditating

That’s a fancy way of saying meditating before you get out of bed. I’m not a morning person, and if you’re not either, you should definitely give this a try.

When I’m feeling great, I

Sing and dance…

…not very well. But it makes me happy, so I do it anyway! Nature walks and evenings curled up with my latest book are more on-brand, though.

You’ll find me with

My little family

My fun-loving husband, our sweet 3-year-old son, and Onyx and Nova, black and white Cairn terriers with opposite personalities and serious yin-yang energy.

Whether you need help manifesting the life of your dreams or you simply want to cut some chaos out of your daily routine, there’s a reason you feel pulled to make a change.

It’d be my honor to guide you.
