Taking the step to begin therapy can feel both empowering & uncertain; I deeply respect that. I work with clients who are ready to understand themselves more fully, whether they’re navigating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, or life transitions. My approach blends curiosity, patience, & evidence-based care to help you reconnect with your strengths & move toward lasting change. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor at SpringSource: Eating, Weight & Mood Disorders, with years of experience supporting individuals & families across outpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, & intensive outpatient settings.
I’m grounded in a size-inclusive philosophy with evidence-based interventions including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for post-traumatic stress.
I specialize in eating disorders, mood & anxiety disorders, trauma-related issues, & substance use concerns, and am pursuing specialized training as a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). I bring a collaborative & compassionate presence to my work, helping clients build deeper connections to themselves & their relationships.
