I often work with themes like identity, shame, grief, and anxiety, which can show up in many ways, including gender dysphoria, eating disorders, relational trauma, and death.

Struggling with emotional eating, food addiction, or body image? This is my specialty. But food and weight issues rarely stand alone. Trauma, codependency, boundaries, and even clutter are often part of the same story. I use EMDR, IFS and the Enneagram to address root causes, not just symptoms, which means I can help anyone ready to do that deeper work. My happiest clients are mid-life women ready to heal their relationship with food and their body. No matter who you are or what stage of life you're in, together we will uncover the patterns keeping you stuck and use gentle accountability and self-compassion for lasting change.

Have you ever been told you worry too much, that you're too sensitive, or too hard on yourself? Do you feel like your brain never quiets down - always analyzing, overthinking, or assuming the worst will happen? Do you struggle with habitual patterns or the need to constantly be in control? Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, emotions, high expectations, or the pressure to meet everyone else’s needs?
Maybe fear, guilt, or self-doubt are holding you back, making it hard to trust yourself, be present, or truly relax. Maybe you wish you could feel more confident, go with the flow, or just turn your brain off for a little while.

Life can become overwhelming in ways that aren’t always visible to others. You may be someone who has spent years being strong, responsible, or there for others while quietly carrying anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness, shame, or emotional exhaustion. When patterns start to impact your relationships, confidence, or sense of who you are, therapy can provide a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and feel supported.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety and worry, no matter what you try?
Do you seem to “have it all together” on the outside - but inside, you’re constantly battling anxiety and worry? You’ve accomplished a lot, yet instead of peace, you feel on edge or stuck. Maybe a recent life change - a breakup, new school or job, move, or shift in family dynamics - has only amplified the anxiety that’s been bubbling beneath the surface. Deep down, you know something needs to shift, even if you’re not exactly sure what. You’re ready to understand yourself more, break old patterns, and finally feel calmer and more grounded.
