Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.”
— BUDDHA
At A Mindful Lotus, healing begins with the belief that your body, mind, and spirit are deeply interconnected. Feelings can be carried in our bodies, shaping the way we think, feel, and connect. Here, therapy is not about “fixing” you — it’s about walking beside you as you reclaim your wholeness.

Virtual Holistic Mental Health Services for Whole-Person Healing
Healing happens when we care for the whole person. My services integrate proven therapies with mindful practices, offering a comprehensive path to wellness and empowerment.
Individual Counseling
Come as you are. Therapy tailored to your unique journey.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) allows the nervous system to create space for calm and safety by allowing the nervous system to complete what it could not finish on its own.
Embodied Therapy
Your body is wise. Through breath, movement, and mindful awareness, we listen deeply to what it has been holding.
Yoga & Reiki
These gentle practices restore balance, calm the nervous system, and invite healing energy into the body. Sessions are accessible from the comfort of your home.
Consulting & Training
I offer professional development workshops for therapists and personal growth workshops that bring healing energy to promote stillness, balance and grounding.

Our Treatment Philosophy
Healing is not linear. Like the lotus, growth happens in muddy waters — through challenge, resilience, and hope. Therapy is not about perfection, but about cultivating presence, self-awareness, and compassion.
