This is what I believe— and how I show up for you

I started Mindful Moments because I believe women deserve more than symptom management. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or the profound identity shifts of perimenopause and postmenopause—you deserve a space that takes all of it seriously. This page is about what that looks like in practice.

My Mission

For women who are tired of holding everything together

I'm here for women who are quietly falling apart while the rest of their life looks perfectly fine from the outside. Through individual therapy, somatic and body-based sessions, and group workshops, I create a space where healing is real, laughter is genuinely welcome, and you are—finally—the priority.

This isn't about fixing you. It's about helping you come back to yourself. My work draws from evidence-based clinical approaches and body-centered healing practices because I know firsthand that real change lives in both the mind and the body. After 18 years in the mental health field, I've learned that the most transformative moments in a session rarely happen when someone is sitting perfectly still on a couch.

"Healing doesn't have to be heavy all the time. Sometimes it sounds like laughter. Sometimes it looks like sitting on the floor with a cup of coffee."

My Values

What you can count on when you walk through the door

These aren't just words on a wall. They're how I actually show up—in every session, every interaction, every decision I make about how I practice.

Authenticity

I will never ask you to be anyone other than exactly who you are. The therapy room is one of the few places in your life where you don't have to pretend to be okay—and I take that seriously.

Commitment

Your healing journey matters to me the way your own goals matter to you. I show up prepared, present, and genuinely invested—not just in the session, but in your progress between them.

Connection

The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of everything. I work hard to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest—because that's where the real work begins.

Empowerment

My job isn't to have all the answers—it's to help you find yours. I believe in your capacity to heal, grow, and build a life that actually feels like yours, especially on the days you don't believe it yourself.

Fun & Creativity

Healing doesn't have to be somber. Laughter, movement, creativity, and the occasional walk by the ocean are just as therapeutic as any technique I've trained in. I lean into that unapologetically.

Respect

Your beliefs, your history, your pace, and your choices are yours. I will never push you toward a version of healing that doesn't feel right for you. You lead—I follow your cues.

Flexibility

As John Lennon put it, "life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans." I meet you where you are—not where I think you should be—and adjust as your needs change.

Growth

I believe in ongoing learning—for both of us. I stay current on the latest research in women's mental health, perimenopause, somatic healing, and trauma because you deserve a therapist who keeps showing up sharper.

Self-expression

There is no right way to show up in therapy. Talk, move, journal, sit in silence—whatever helps you find your voice is what we'll do. Your expression is your healing.
