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 enjoy working with clients who are interested in exploring their relationship with food and their body, or those seeking connection. Our initial sessions would discuss your relationships and lifestyle factors. Together, we would collaborate to create a plan to address any concerns, pulling in different therapeutic approaches that fit you best.
