While beginning therapy with someone new can feel nerve-wracking, seeking out mental health care is a testament to your strength and courage. In session, we'll create a safe space of trust and empathy to be able to figure out what best suits you in our work together. We'll dive deeper into your experiences in order to create meaning and understanding. We will work to uncover the root causes of your presenting concerns, becoming curious about the patterns in your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to foster insight.
I specialize in disordered eating, body image concerns, as well as anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Providing culturally responsive, gender-affirming care from the HAES framework is essential to me. I adapt our sessions to your unique needs, always offering empathetic support to help you develop healthy coping mechanisms and overcome hardships.
Call or email me today for a free 15-minute consultation. Let's embark on this transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery together. You deserve to live a life that feels fulfilling and aligns with your values. I will be there to support you every step of the way!
