Transformation is the thread that runs through all of my work. Whether I am facilitating a room full of participants, guiding a couple through relational repair, or sitting one-on-one in the therapy space, my intention is the same: to support meaningful, lasting change that touches both the mind and the soul.

I am a Board-Certified Licensed Psychotherapist, author, yoga instructor, seminar leader, and corporate coach. At the heart of my work is a deep focus on relationships—particularly the most essential relationship of all: the relationship we have with ourselves. From that foundation, every other relationship has the opportunity to heal and evolve.

My professional path began at UCLA, where I graduated from the Department of Theater, Film, and Television. I spent several years working in the entertainment industry before feeling called toward a more inward and purposeful path. That calling led me to complete my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and to pursue extensive training in mindfulness, meditation, and Eastern philosophy.

As a yoga instructor, I was drawn to the Institute of Integrative Body Psychotherapy, where I deepened my understanding of the mind–body connection and learned to integrate somatic awareness into therapeutic work. Today, my approach weaves together Western psychology, body-based psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and intuitive present-moment awareness—offering a holistic, grounded, and deeply human way of working.

My passion for inspiring and educating others naturally expanded into public speaking, writing, and training. Whether in therapeutic settings or larger group environments, my style is experiential, engaging, and practical. People leave with tools they can apply immediately—tools that support emotional resilience, clearer communication, and more fulfilling relationships, both personally and professionally.

With the success of my book, Transformational CPR, my work has reached audiences internationally. It is a privilege to witness individuals and couples reclaim their power, deepen their connections, and step more fully into their lives. I am continually inspired by the courage it takes to choose growth—and honored to walk alongside those who are ready for transformation
