So, you decided that you are ready for some change in your life? This is a great first step! Finding the right therapist will help with feeling supported and discovering ways to make change. Why work with me? I specialize in working with people on body image & self-compassion concerns, unhealthy relationships with food, growing into parenthood, improving relationships, and more. Therapy is the opportunity to talk freely, without judgement, to someone who is ready to listen & help you unpack your struggles. Our time together will always be at your pace, following your lead.

In our first few sessions together, we will talk about your goals and how my therapy style will get to your end goals. Whether its parenting, relationships, or eating habits; it's important for you to feel heard in your struggles and supported towards success. Let's find you skills and supports, towards a more hopeful future.

Through family planning transitions and life stressors, we all could use some support. Make sure that you find the right fit for you. If you feel like we would be a good match, please reach out. I offer free 15 minute consults. Together, we will help you find the path towards hope and healing.

I treat individuals and encourage family to join sessions. During our initial sessions, we will discuss expectations of therapy from each other, start discussing your symptoms, and work together to lay out what goals you have for yourself and how I can match them with treatment recommendations. Each person's struggles are unique, so their therapy should be treated just the same.

I often use CBT and DBT the most, as it has been studied to be effective for many areas of therapy and is hands-on. In our first few sessions, we will take the time to explore areas of your life that you are looking to improve, so we can really tailor our work together; starting with looking at thoughts you have about yourself and its impact on your daily life.
