We both know this story - waking up each day with anxiety as thoughts about food and body image dominate your mind. The cycle of restrictive eating, binging, and compensating for what we've eaten is one I am personally familiar with, and it has fueled my professional passion for and specialty in recovery from food and body image issues. If you're reading this, you likely want to feel balanced and resilient, able to move through life with greater ease and confidence. It is difficult to achieve this alone, and I am so glad you're here. Therapy can help you heal, re-center, and regain the freedom you've lost.

In life we often face obstacles which cause us painful emotions, feeling disconnected, isolated and confused. The good news is we don’t have to navigate this alone and I would be honored to help guide you. Are you currently experiencing depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, or trauma from an abusive relationship? Or perhaps you are looking for someone who has training and experience with neurodiversity (ADHD and/or Autism). In sessions I use an array of therapeutic techniques to promote a mind/body connection, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Attachment Based Theory.

Stressed? Burned out? Anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed by the world? Difficulty communicating? Feeling disconnected from your partner or yourself? The world is a crazy messy place sometimes (especially lately). Our past and current circumstances often create a difficult place to be in our thoughts and our feelings and we often can feel “stuck” in our current circumstances. Some of us carry really heavy burdens and keep on a brave face for those around us because for a lot of reasons like our jobs, roles at home, family, friends, keeping up with the Joneses, you name it!

Life can be so unfair and being human is incredibly difficult, yet there is also so much beauty in life to experience as well! It can be exhausting to feel like you have to put on a front and be filtered in order to do life while suffering. Learning to find a way to hold and make sense of these contradictions can be a painful, confusing and complicated process! We often view things as being “either/or” when much of life is actually "both/and." My desire is to create a safe place for you to JUST BE…unfiltered…to help process, and receive rest for your soul and mind in order to heal and live life as your best authentic self.
