I aim to help clients gain a more cohesive sense of self. My hope is to help people live authentically, find their voice, and experience healing and wholeness that leads to empowerment. I foster a therapeutic space that is safe and open, where my clients are able to talk about whatever they want without fear of judgment.

I help clients who are struggling with food and body issues, eating disorder recovery, sense of self, anxiety and depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and navigating life as a highly sensitive person.

I enjoy walking alongside people through various thresholds and seasons of life and am trained in specific areas of trauma and abuse, psychodynamic therapy, attachment, and object relations theory. My relational approach to therapy creates space for curiosity and exploration to find your way and reconnect with yourself and others. 

In working with food and body issues, I use an approach informed by Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, and Body Trust. I hold a weight neutral standpoint and encourage clients to explore the ways in which diet culture and internalized stigma have impacted their body image, relationship to movement, and approach to food.

Whether you’re at the beginning or feel like you’ve been on this journey for a long time, I will meet you wherever you are. I commit to showing up to sessions with curiosity, support, and guidance; I believe that real progress happens when you show up too. My goal is to create a trusting and supportive environment in order to foster healing and growth.
