Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of binge eating, shame, and harsh self-criticism. Often these patterns are connected to past trauma, core fears, or feeling disconnected from their body and emotions. You may feel frustrated with yourself or exhausted from trying to “fix” things on your own. What you really want is relief—freedom from emotional eating, healing from painful experiences, and a kinder relationship with yourself. In therapy, I offer a safe, supportive space where we can understand what’s driving these patterns and help you build self-trust, confidence, and lasting change.
I specialize in integrative, trauma-informed therapy that blends Brainspotting, somatic work, ACT, CBT, parts work (IFS), and EFT. Together, we’ll identify patterns, process stuck emotions, and shift unhelpful beliefs. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel grounded, connected, and empowered to create lasting change.
Change can be hard—even when it’s for the better. I’m here to walk beside you, offering a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. Recognizing you want change is the first brave step toward it. Your life can transform, and you don’t have to do it alone. Now accepting new clients!
