I have over ten years of training and clinical experience in eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Contrary to popular belief, therapy isn’t for people who are overly sensitive — it’s for those who want to live with greater efficiency and clarity. Sometimes we unknowingly become experts in preserving our battery life from never having learned how to charge it in the first place. Battery preservation examples are - overeating, chronic dieting, binge drinking, doomscrolling, excessive shopping, constant problem-solving (whether our own or others!), procrastinating, and endless escaping through social media, work, or even vacations.

I specialize in treating OCD, Anxiety, Trauma & Eating Disorders.
If you have found your way to my profile, I imagine there is some part of you that wants to change. Do you experience symptoms of anxiety, trauma or OCD? Is anxiety or self-doubt keeping you from getting what you want out of life and your relationships? Using evidenced based treatments, including EMDR, CBT & ERP, I will support you in building awareness and insight into maladaptive patterns & behaviors that may be limiting you from creating meaningful change. My style is collaborative, seeing therapy as a life-enhancing participation in self-understanding, self-realization and self-compassion.

I work with a broad range of mental health conditions, and my specialties are life stress/transitions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, cannabis use disorders, and perinatal mental health.
My approach to therapy is active, empowering, and collaborative. I believe successful therapy starts by creating a safe and supportive environment that celebrates and respects all identities and backgrounds. In my work, I seek to help clients identify what is most important to them, question beliefs that may no longer be serving them, and disentangle themselves from the obstacles getting in the way of having a life worth living and sharing with others.

Most of my clients are millennials or Gen Z navigating anxiety, identity questions, trauma, disordered eating, burnout, or trying to unlearn the weird messages they’ve picked up over time.
My approach is direct, curious, and rooted in actual respect—not patronizing. I believe you’re the expert on your own life. I’m here to help you untangle what’s not working, make room for what is, and figure out what comes next—without betraying who you actually are. You don’t need to have it all figured out to get started, and you don’t have to go it alone.

 I have 8+ years of experience with populations facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual assault, eating disorders, body image, and addiction.
I also have years of experience in somatic therapies, which addresses the physical symptoms of stress, trauma, and emotions. Many people experience behaviors or compulsions—usually based on past traumas that negatively impact their daily lives. A somatic approach is a form of healing this trauma in the body.

Many of us turn to therapy when life's challenges leave us unsure how to care for ourselves or move forward in meaningful ways. Painful experiences often shape our ability to meet our own needs. It can be so hard to know how to cope when we become tangled in one of life’s knots. Repeating relational patterns, overworking, withdrawing from loved ones, or struggling unhelpful coping strategies can create an endless cycle of difficulty in our lives that complicates our relationship with ourselves and others. No matter where you find yourself today, I hope you know that things can get better.

I specialize in working with athletes, performers and individuals struggling with eating disorders.
Being human can be difficult. It comes with highs and lows, sometimes those highs and lows are frequently alternating, and sometimes they are not alternating enough. We all feel stuck at times, like things need to change, that things are out of control and moving too quickly, and we are exhausted from too much change, or maybe even someone dared to tell us we need to change. I am passionate about journeying with adolescents, adults, couples and families to discover helpful insights to live with more ease, to stay more present, to increase your awareness about your humanness, or simply validate that being human can be difficult.
