I live in CT, where I’ve raised my two beloved, now grown kiddos along with my amazing husband, Jack. I’m the author of Holistic Trauma Healing: Strategies to Integrate the Body, Mind, and Spirit, published by Llewellyn Worldwide. My first book, Urge Overkill: A Story of Breaking Free, is a self-help book on overcoming domestic violence based on personal and professional experience, as a social worker.
As an OPLM peer parent and a Livestrong at the Y cancer survivor support group facilitator, I’m trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) in 2024. I am trained in the Invitation to Change/ CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) professional certification through the Center for Motivational Change since 2023 and the Livestrong at the Y cancer survivor program facilitation since 2021.
I am an experienced, registered yoga teacher (ERYT-500) since 2001, a certified continuing education provider through Yoga Alliance (YACEP), and a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists offering trauma informed yoga/ embodiment practices in a variety of settings. I am certified in Somatic EMDR with the Embody Lab since 2025. In Spring 2025, I launched my first year-long, Sacred Journey 200 hour, Yoga Alliance certified Yoga Teacher training.
When my son faced mental health challenges, I found few resources available to help parents connect and build effective communication. This inspired me to seek out knowledge and tools—not just for my family, but for others on similar paths. Through connecting with fellow parents, sharing stories, and finding common ground, I’ve discovered strength, support, and hope on this journey.
"Your thoughts of yesterday created your life of today. Your thoughts of today create your life of tomorrow. Your life is therefore, a creation of your mind." - The Buddha
