Some areas I specialize in are: depth psychology, creativity, trauma, and eating disorders.
You’ve spent your life striving - checking all the boxes, keeping it together, chasing success - but inside you feel disconnected. Something's missing. Maybe you feel stuck, burned out, or caught in cycles of people-pleasing that leave you overwhelmed and unsure what’s next. You’re ready for a change, fear of failure, or the pressure to “get it right” keeps you frozen. Whether you're navigating a big transition, healing past pain, or untangling patterns with food and your body, you don’t have to do it alone.

My passion lies in helping women heal from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image issues and trauma.
In the pursuit of healing and recovery, I believe it is important to help clients become more present in their lives and in their struggles. With increased mindfulness comes the ability to control one's experience. I tailor therapy depending on individual needs, but tend to pull from DBT (for skills building) as well as psychodynamic-based approaches.

Are you feeling stuck in old patterns that you know aren’t working for you? Perhaps you find that the way you’ve been showing up in your workplace, with your family, or with your friends hasn’t been effective or rewarding. A nagging insecurity keeps you from taking risks and being vulnerable with those you love. Or a need for control paralyzes your openness to growth and change. You may not even be fully aware of what's keeping you stuck - you just know that something is. We all have blind spots that get in our own way - beliefs we have about ourselves, others, and the world that become self-fulfilling prophesies for our lives.
