Are you tired of repeating the same patterns that leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or critical of yourself? Many of my clients come to therapy longing for more ease, but find themselves weighed down by self-doubt, relationship challenges, or struggles with food and body image. I offer a supportive and collaborative space where we can explore what keeps you stuck and create new paths toward healing, compassion, and connection.
I believe meaningful change happens when we look beneath the surface. We’ll explore not just behaviors and symptoms, but the underlying stories, protective parts, and unmet needs that shape your patterns
I integrate solution-focused and depth-oriented approaches so you can build both practical skills and a stronger relationship with yourself. My specialties include:
Relationships with Self and Others; Disordered Eating & Body Image; Life Transitions & Grief.
Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and collaborative. In our work, I’ll offer both gentle support and honest reflection. My goal is to help you feel less burdened by old patterns and more able to move toward the life and relationships you want.
