Hi there! Thank you for stopping by my page and I hope your search for support leads you to a relationship with a therapist that provides you with the guidance you are seeking . I value the power of connection and strongly believe that we deserve healthy relationships and genuine connection through our times of struggle.

The strongest person is the one who knows when to ask for help. Everyone struggles, but why do some people handle life's challenges so well? My goal is to help my clients have a happy and fulfilling life. What this means is clearly different from person to person. My aim is to identify the behaviors that are keeping this from happening, implement these changes, practice them in real life and moving on. I am a short term-solution focused therapist. The more you do outside of therapy, the faster you can achieve the changes you desire.

Are you someone who would like to have a better relationship with food and exercise? Or someone who is ready to heal from past trauma? Using a HAES-informed approach, I specialize in helping clients utilize the skills needed to succeed in recovery. As a former collegiate athlete, I have great interest in how to incorporate athletic experiences, and one’s identity as an athlete, into therapeutic treatment for eating disorders. Additionally, I am trained in Cognitive Processing therapy and use this modality with clients with PTSD to help them adopt the thought processes needed to reduce the impact of their traumas on their wellbeing.

I believe therapy can be a challenging and illuminating journey in which you have the chance to learn more about yourself, your approach/perspective on life, and the dynamics in important relationships. Throughout the therapy process, I view my clients through a lens of strength where common life dilemmas are seen as an opportunity to develop a stronger capacity for personal understanding and nurture deeper, more intimate relationships. Whether you are seeking support in response to relationship concerns, life transitions, addiction/recovery, or are the loved one of an addict, therapy can help identify & clarify underlying feelings & patterns of behavior.
