My ideal client is someone who feels like they're carrying the weight of unresolved pain but struggles to put it into words. Maybe they've spent years putting others first, unsure how to prioritize themselves without guilt. They might be wrestling with feelings of inadequacy, perfectionism, or shame—whether about their body, their past, or their identity. They want a space where they can finally untangle these feelings, uncover their true self, and let go of the pressure to be "perfect." I enjoy working with people who have unique life situations, such as small business owners, people in trades, or people with complex lives.
I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, address disordered eating, explore their sexuality, and build self-esteem. My approach is rooted in authenticity, self-awareness, and fostering independence. I offer a straightforward, compassionate style that empowers people to take ownership of their growth, and finally come home to themselves.
Taking the step to seek therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also an act of courage and self-care. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, exploring what’s holding you back and finding ways to move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

Groups
Body Liberation Process Group
Self-described as a “Recovery 2.0” group, the body liberation process group has met twice a month for the last six years (and counting). The group is intended for folks who have moved to a solid place in their eating disorder recovery, yet they are still struggling with things such as using their voice, setting boundaries, having lasting positive relationships, and repeating unhelpful interpersonal patterns. In this group, members get the benefit of receiving support from a therapist and a small group of people who are committed to recovery.
