If you have an eating disorder or other mental health challenge, reaching out for help can be one of the hardest and best choices you can make. So many of us feel alone in our modern world filled with technology that disconnects us. The challenges of daily living can feel overwhelming, but there is a path forward. Counseling can offer hope in the form of a changed view of yourself and your situation, providing increased confidence and tools to break through barriers. Your past doesn't have to continue to define you, and you can replace your shame with compassion. We can work together to understand and address your pain and distress.

Since 2021, I have worked full-time with clients who have eating disorders. This unique mental and physical health challenge requires expertise and knowledge from a multi-disciplinary team that includes a therapist, dietitian and physician to effectively address. It can be challenging to find a skilled provider in this area, which is why it is my specialty.

My approach is strengths-based and focused on increasing resilience to help you overcome the challenges you are facing. As a therapist I have a front-row seat to human suffering, but I also see the resilience and positive qualities that allow suffering to be transcended. We can work together to turn your pain into power and your disappointments into growth.
