I support individuals 13 and older navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, trauma and individuals struggling with obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors. I also particularly enjoy supporting adults experiencing eating disorders, body image distress, binge eating and compulsive exercise behaviors, as well as parents, siblings, and partners of folks living with an eating disorder.
My approach and the modalities that I draw from are versatile- while I especially enjoy pulling from internal family systems, ACT and DBT, I adapt my approach in order to best suit you and your needs. I am a Level 1 & 2 EMDR trained therapist and offer EMDR for treatment of the treatment of trauma-related disorders & OCD.
I bring curiosity, compassion, and a sense of humor into my sessions- although therapy can be heavy, I have found that laughter and lightness can also be powerful tools in the healing process! I aim to support you in clarifying your goals and values and to walk alongside you as you move towards them. If it sounds like we'd be a good fit, please reach out!
