Note: If you are a current client at Balanceworks Counseling, please reach out through that platform until my practice setting transition is complete. I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, depression, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I am passionate about helping individuals find peace within and acceptance of themselves while working toward a life full of fulfilling relationships and experiences. I believe that, although it may look different for each person, healing and thriving are available to those who are willing to work for and receive it.
My philosophy with eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, and other mental health concerns is that we use these things as coping mechanisms to cover underlying and unresolved emotional patterns and beliefs about ourselves and those around us. I will empower you to work through your destructive thoughts and behaviors while also addressing these underlying issues.
Please contact me if you feel that you have had enough of your brain's negative self-talk and seemingly endless cycles that keep you trapped in unwanted behaviors. It is possible to feel safe in your own skin again (or maybe even for the first time). Schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation by phone or email and we can see if we'll be a good fit.

Some things I can help with are Eating Disorders, OCD, and Anxiety. We will start by identifying underlying thoughts and emotions that drive unwanted behaviors. Then we'll work toward behaviors that help you manage emotions in a healthier way and allow you to live according to your values. These interventions will help alleviate distress so you can get back to living life to the fullest.

I often use psychoeducation to help you better understand what you are experiencing. Then, I use principles of CBT and ACT to help you realistically manage distressing emotions and behaviors, accept what is out of your control, and move toward the life envision for yourself. Especially with OCD, I use Exposure Response Prevention to help you break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
