About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been providing both mental health and drug & alcohol counseling for individuals and groups for nearly two decades. I bring my trauma-informed training into my yoga teaching and Reiki energy work. I started my yoga journey during my undergrad degree when I was 20 years old and majoring in psychology. While learning about the mind and its complexities, I became passionate about finding a way to integrate the body and mind to embrace a more comprehensive approach to wellness.

After practicing yoga for 20 years, I decided to take my love to the next level and become a yoga teacher. I set out on an intensive six month long training with the intention of transforming my life off the mat as well. I sought to reduce my overall stress and combat the daily headaches that I had been struggling with for 13 years. My intention throughout my training was to find more balance in my life and to stay connected to my breath both on and off the mat while creating new opportunities for my future. As a result, I decided to make major career and lifestyle changes for myself for the first time in 17 years. While I'm still in transition, I know that bringing mindful attention to each day will continue to open doors.

Since completing my yoga training, I have taught a variety of classes from vinyasa flows and fast-paced strengthening classes to calming and restorative classes. During the summer of 2023, I was excited to integrate my love for water, nature, and yoga by also teaching stand up paddle board yoga. I am beyond grateful to start a new chapter at Evergreen and hope to see you in my classes! Namaste.
