Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or a difficult life transition? I work with clients who want practical tools to cope, heal, and create meaningful change. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns of self‑criticism, emotional overwhelm, or all‑or‑nothing thinking that make it hard to move forward.
Alongside these issues, I have a special interest in helping clients transform their relationship with their body, food, and self‑care. This might look like feeling ashamed of your body, using food or exercise to cope with emotions, or struggling to maintain healthy routines even when you truly want to feel better.
In therapy, we focus on the thoughts, emotions, and habits that keep you stuck.
My approach to care is collaborative and compassionate, centered on you as a unique individual. I integrate evidence-based techniques like CBT with mindfulness and together, we tailor therapy to your goals, fostering resilience and self-compassion in a supportive space.
Growing up around family mental health challenges inspired my passion for supporting others with compassion and respect. I became curious about how people adapt and grow through stress. Training in crisis and trauma strengthened my dedication. I’m motivated every day by seeing clients heal, find hope, and discover their strengths.
