Feeling stuck? Struggling to identify goals? Feeling as if your body image and relationship to food has become overwhelming? Whether you are having a hard time answering these questions or the answers are ingrained in you, I am here to support you! Authenticity and empowerment are the focus of my therapeutic style. Together, let's take a look at what is and is not serving you in life right now. I work through story, tools and feedback to help clients realign with their true self.

I tend to work with deeply sensitive, creative women who are spiritual seekers or spiritually curious. My clients often identify as the black sheep of their family and struggle to find a sense of belonging. I love helping women heal younger parts of themselves that did not receive the care and attunement they needed. I also help high school age girls navigate the turbulence of the teenage years, as well as couples who want to create more emotional safety, harmony, and connection.
Do you notice that you worry more about what others think of you than what you think of you? Maybe you look around the room and compare yourself to others. Are you always "watching your weight" or trying a new diet? At first you felt like you were controlling the food, but now it seems like the food is controlling you. It's all you can think about. I've been treating people with various levels of eating disorders for almost 20 years. You and I can work together to get your life back.
I tend to work with folks who are curious about themselves, others, and the human condition in general. My clients often come to therapy recognizing that they have endured relational and/or societal trauma and knowing how it impacts them. However, they feel unsure of how to reckon with, heal, and integrate their traumatic experiences. My clients are ready to live more expansively, have more balanced relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily life but need support to get there.
I work primarily with those struggling with generalized anxiety, substance abuse, life transitions, and relationships. Additionally, I work with couples to build Effective Communication Skills for a more sustainable and expansive connection and bond, working to de-escalate conflict while building awareness around foundational principles to lean on for long term success.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and depleted? Or perhaps your life is challenging you in ways that make it difficult to manage the day-to-day. Whether you're anxious and feeling a lack of control, or not feeling like yourself and finding that your life is lacking meaning and purpose, it's not too late to get the support you deserve. I'm here to provide a warm and supportive space where you can be your authentic self and feel heard and understood.
My clients are teens and young adults (16-28) who are at a stage where they are reflecting on childhood and have determined they want something different for themselves in adulthood. My clients are often in school or in the early stages of their career. They are often facing challenges around stress, anxiety, childhood trauma, and relationships with friends, family or partners. My clients are on a path of discovering who they are, healing childhood wounds, and building goals for the future.
