You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported—especially when life feels overwhelming. I work with teens and adults navigating eating disorders, neurodivergence, and the complex relationship between mind and body. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in connection. I draw from humanistic, somatic, IFS, polyvagal, and mindfulness-based practices to support healing and self-understanding.
With a background in therapeutic recreation, I’ve seen firsthand how meaningful connection fosters real change. I also bring an interest in nutritional psychiatry and experience working with individuals impacted by brain injury. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to explore, express, and grow—on your own terms.
Whether you're seeking support for disordered eating, sensory processing challenges, burnout, or emotional regulation, I meet you with curiosity, compassion, and respect. You can book a connection call free of charge. Let's connect when you're ready.

I offer preparation and integration support for clients exploring ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. KAP can help create new perspectives and increase psychological flexibility, particularly when individuals feel stuck in long-standing patterns. My approach emphasizes safety, nervous system regulation, and integration so insights from these experiences can translate into meaningful change.
