Many people come to therapy feeling stuck between wanting change and fearing it. Carl Rogers once said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change". This resonates deeply with my approach to therapy: when you feel truly seen and accepted, you can begin to explore yourself with greater freedom and ease. My goal in each session is to create a safe, warm, and open space where you can discover your truest self. I offer a direct yet compassionate approach, helping you navigate life's challenges with new perspectives and greater self-understanding.

I specialize in eating disorders and body image issues, helping clients embrace a mindset for sustainable healing and "food freedom". I'm passionate about improving self-esteem, self-understanding, and interpersonal relationships. I also work with adolescents and teens, offering a supportive space to express themselves, gain clarity, and navigate struggles.

I work best with clients who are ready to be active in their healing process and are open to change. Whether you're dealing with external pressures or internal struggles, I’m here to help you find more gentleness and ease in your life. I deeply value the relationships I build with my clients, and I’m passionate about being part of their journey toward peace.

I work from a relational and psychodynamic orientation as I believe that safety and compassion are at the forefront of any therapeutic relationship. I am also interested in the way you came to be, often asking questions about your family and your life growing up. When a client feels in distress, I will pull from DBT and teach you the skills to access so you can regulate your emotions.
