My approach to therapy is based on authenticity, acceptance, and empathy.
My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients and I work together to identify and address the roots of obstacles in their life, problematic behavior patterns, and negative core beliefs. I help clients process emotions and difficult life experiences, build on existing strengths and resources, and learn healthy coping strategies that enable growth and healing.
I am EMDR-trained and have experience working in both outpatient eating disorder recovery and local private practice.
I specialize in helping teens and adults work through issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, divorce recovery, trauma, grief & loss, self-esteem, perfectionism, body image, and disordered eating. My therapy style promotes curiosity, mindfulness, self-compassion, and, whenever possible, laughter.
Deciding to pursue counseling is not always an easy decision, and finding the right counselor is not always an easy process. You have taken one of the most important steps...the first step. Please reach out for a free initial consultation to see if you think we might be a good fit for your journey toward growth and healing.
