I support adults and adolescents experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, developmental trauma and family-of-origin issues, emotional neglect, anxiety, and depression. Many clients come to therapy hoping to “feel better” or “get rid of” anxiety, depression, or other distressing emotions. Along with developing effective coping skills to reduce unwanted symptoms, I help clients understand how past experiences shape the present, integrate these insights, and build confidence in their ability to sit with difficult emotions.
I take a relational, trauma-informed approach to therapy and integrate existential, attachment, and mindfulness-based modalities. I am also trained in EMDR.
I believe that everyone deserves support and guidance as they navigate the complex experiences that come with being human. If you are interested in working with me or setting up a consult call, please use the link to my website to fill out the form and I will be in touch soon!
