My first goal in the therapeutic process is to create a trusting, safe and collaborative relationship. Through active exploration, it is my hope that you will uncover insight into thoughts, emotions and behavior that will empower and support you in transforming your life. I recognize the difficulty of developing and maintaining a sense of self that reflects a value of inner worth rather than outer societal or familial ideals and expectations. My intention is for you to become the person you really are and from that place, make choices leading you towards a greater sense of wholeness, peace and well-being.
I specialize in working with adults, young adults, and adolescents who are struggling with eating disorders and body image, depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues and sexual identity. I also have specific training and experience working with young adults who are having difficulties with the transition into adulthood.
It takes courage to reach out to a stranger and ask for support, and I understand how scary that can be. Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit for you is so important—if you are drawn to my profile and think we might work well together, then I encourage you to reach out!
