I’m a licensed professional counselor and work primarily with women and teens. I specialize in eating disorders, body image, trauma, relationship conflicts, and life transitions.

Do you remember a time when you were calm and at peace? Has it been difficult to see the light ahead of you and find ways to get back on track in your life? What if you can get on that path you envisioned and able to return to your previous level of functioning? I believe we all have stories to tell and your story matters. I understand that it can be quiet challenging and scary to know at which point you felt lost in control of your life. It can be even scarier to know whom to rely on or whom to open up to during this most critical time.

Our early family of origin experiences lay the foundation for internal and relational patterns that continue to play out in later life. Many of our patterns include our best and most creative efforts to adapt to the tough stuff of life such as trauma, misattunement, and loss. Though these patterns are not set in stone, they are often automatic and hard to recognize, change, or understand. Together we can explore the ways in which our adaptations may have served you well in earlier times but are no longer proving to be helpful, effective, or authentic. I work with clients to create connection, healing, safety, and satisfaction.
