You may look like you are keeping it together, but inside you feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, or exhausted from being so hard on yourself. Food may feel stressful, your body may never feel good enough, and you may feel stuck in cycles of guilt, comparison, avoidance, or shame. If you are a teen managing school, friendships, and identity, or an adult carrying pressure from work, relationships, and daily life, it can feel lonely to keep pushing through. You deserve caring support that helps you feel understood, steady, and less alone as you work toward a calmer, healthier relationship with yourself, your emotions, food, and your body.
I provide online therapy for teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and body image concerns. Together, we explore what keeps you so stuck, build practical tools for difficult thoughts and emotions and move at a pace that feels supportive as you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself. Your voice matters here.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and body image concerns. Using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help you break unhelpful patterns, manage emotions, and build healthier coping skills. My approach is supportive, structured, and tailored to you. You do not have to do this alone. Schedule your free 15-minute consultation soon.

The treatment modality I use with clients is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In your initial session, we'll explore your reason(s) for seeking therapy and determine the best approaches to facilitate your progress. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I'll guide you in challenging/ transforming your unhelpful thoughts, leading to positive emotional changes.
