If you’re here looking for a therapist, this may be the right time to invest in your healing and personal growth. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, body image concerns, eating disorders, trauma, and relationship challenges. I believe the most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself, and my approach is grounded in helping clients build greater self-understanding, resilience, and self-compassion. I offer both in-person and online therapy services.
My clinical work integrates Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and EMDR therapy. I emphasize developing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and physical responses within the body, helping clients better understand their experiences and patterns.
I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood without judgment. Therapy is not about “fixing” who you are, but about helping you better understand yourself, heal from painful experiences, and build a more fulfilling and connected life. You do not have to navigate life's greatest challenges alone!
