I find deep meaning in supporting clients facing challenges related to self-esteem, body image, and disordered eating, as well as women navigating anxiety, significant life changes, perinatal mental health and most women's issues. My passion for this work stems from personal experiences and interactions with clients, revealing how pervasive societal pressures, particularly those perpetuated by diet culture and media, can deeply impact individuals, especially those in larger bodies. I aim to empower clients to engage in work that leads to embracing their bodies as they are.
I draw on psychodynamic theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, relational therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I aim to create a safe and accepting space regardless of identity. My clinical interests include anxiety, self-esteem and body image issues, disordered eating, life transitions, relationships, trauma and burnout.
There's no "right way," to do therapy, but the beautiful thing is that we can go at your pace. I believe that connection and community are the greatest things that we as humans have. I aim to create a space built off of trust and authenticity, and have genuine connections with my clients. I believe you can do hard work, and have some laughs while you do it.
