You might be struggling with an eating disorder/body image, anxiety, chronic illness, or trauma-or a mix of all of these! You might be a mental health provider seeking therapy for yourself or be working in another type of high stress job. Working through any of these concerns can be overwhelming and feel impossible to manage alone. Regardless of what brings you in, I aim to meet you where you're at and work as your partner to build coping skills, meaningful connections to yourself & others, and ultimately a life that you fully enjoy living.
My approach is individualized & trauma-informed. I believe the therapeutic fit is crucial to achieving your goals, so I always aim to create a safe environment where we can work together to explore what you bring to our sessions. I am trained in Brainspotting levels 1 & 2 for trauma healing and nervous system regulation.
We're all deserving of healing and acceptance. I aim to listen and support you on the journey to growth, embodiment, and meaningful connection. Engaging in therapy is very powerful, and I'm always honored to share that journey with my clients... "What we don't need in the midst of struggle is shame for being human." -Brene Brown

I practice from a "person-centered approach", which means that I take your individual needs into consideration before assuming which type of therapy will work best for you. I use a combination of the approaches you see listed here, depending on what you're seeking treatment for & how you operate as an individual. Everyone prefers a different approach, & I aim to account for that first & foremost!
