Modern life is busy, and filled with pressures and expectations. Sometimes, we do everything "right" - we show up as good students, employees, friends, partners, parents - and still feel deep down that something is wrong. If you can relate to this, you're not alone. It's easy to lose sense of what's important to us amidst the noise of daily life. It can be helpful to take time to reflect on our needs and honestly assess if our lives are helping us meet them - and I am happy to provide the space to do so!
I work with individuals who have big questions about life and identity. I use a blend of therapeutic techniques to connect clients to personal values and highlight awareness of their needs. Given my research background, I also have a special interest in body-related issues, including body image, disordered eating, and weight-related bullying.
Recognizing you need help is a difficult first step. Even if we haven't met yet, I am proud of you for exploring support, and am grateful you considered me! If you would like to explore what therapy together might look like, feel free to connect with myself or DiveThru to set up a consultation.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which combines authenticity and values exploration with therapeutic goal-setting. However, I also use a blend of other therapeutic approaches. You may notice that I invite you to challenge unhelpful beliefs (CBT), examine what might be underneath certain emotions (EFT), or explore personal narratives underlying experiences (narrative therapy).
