I have an integrative approach to treating eating disorders, OCD, and trauma using ERP, CPT, ACT, and narrative therapy.
It is hard to be a young person in today’s world! There is so much pressure to perform, to look a certain way, to achieve. Perfectionism, disordered eating, body-image stress, these are all ways to cope with the world we live in. I get that and am here to support you with zero judgement. It's hard to take the first step in looking for help, but you deserve a safe, supportive space, where you can find healing through connection and curiosity. I love helping young people find new ways of being that move them toward the life they want.

Are you exhausted from trying to keep it all together? On the outside, does it seem like things are fine to others—you're showing up to work, maintaining relationships, checking all the boxes—but inside you feel completely lost? If you can relate, you've come to the right place.
I help people just like you work through anxiety, reduce stress, and create a greater sense of calm and balance.

I believe the crux of treatment rests on the collaborative relationship between therapist and client. I use Psychodynamic (relational) , Humanistic, and Existential psychotherapies, as well as Bibliotherapy to guide others toward uncovering deeper insights into the root causes of their distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Informed by theories of attachment and current research in the neurobiology of Trauma and addictions, I honor the lived experience of each individual, bringing curiosity, humility, warmth, and humor to the therapeutic relationship.

Most of us were never taught how to be in relationship, with partners, with family, or even with ourselves. We learned by absorbing what we saw, what we experienced, and what we had to do to feel safe or loved. Those early lessons don’t disappear. They quietly shape how we communicate, how we argue, how we withdraw, and how we long for connection.

Life can bring great challenges, and also incredible joys. Sometimes the challenges can feel overwhelming. In difficult times, it's critical to create a solid emotional foundation to allow you identify your path. My goal as a clinician is to restore balance when you are struggling with tough emotions, or a difficult situation. I believe that as with physical pain, emotional pain is a clear message that something in your life needs attending to. By taking time to reflect and heal, you can regain a sense of clarity, purpose and peace.

As your couples’ therapist I will work in supporting you to share with each other vulnerably and fully.
