I hold a BA in Psychology from Naropa University. I am certified through ProDoula as a birth and postpartum doula, a trauma informed yoga therapist certified through Vinyasa in Austin, TX. My passion project is coaching autistic and neurodiverse families. I specialize in nonverbal communication and have a tender place for families who struggle with psychosis related concerns. It’s safe to say that I entered this line of work in order to assist families with more challenging dynamics, my heart aligns with finding harmony among overstimulated homes.
