You can appear put-together & still feel anxious, disconnected, or like you’re never enough. I support high-achieving women in healing body image struggles, disordered eating patterns, perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, transitions & more. My work blends nervous system regulation, somatic & trauma-informed approaches & identity-level rewiring to create deep, lasting change. This isn’t simply about insight, it’s about embodiment, self-trust & feeling at home in yourself. I offer a highly personalized, supportive space where you feel seen, safe & deeply understood. Licensed in California, South Carolina, Utah & Florida for telehealth.
I help women break free from: body image dissatisfaction, disordered eating, chronic dieting, perfectionism, anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, self-sabotage, emotional fallout of autoimmune challenges, etc.
I am trained in EMDR, Rapid Rewire Method & a variety of mind/body trauma informed practices to help uncover the unconscious that keeps you stuck.
I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore deeper meaning of one's life, feelings and experiences. I believe in the power of change and the ability to re-train our bodies and minds in order to achieve optimal satisfaction and a preferred way of being. I focus on the mind-body connection and building a strong sense of empowerment.
