I am committed to supporting clients in rebuilding trust with their voices and bodies through evidence-based care.
I'm here to provide a space for clients to show up authentically. I’m dedicated to fostering an environment where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. For the last 4 years, I’ve worked in a PHP/IOP treatment setting supporting clients on their eating disorder recovery journey. Sessions were geared towards increasing insight to patterns, learning effective coping strategies, and better managing co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and depression. I welcome clients in any stage of recovery.
Grounded in a person-centered approach, I integrate parts work, DBT, and CBT into sessions. My clinical work emphasizes shame resilience and the power of vulnerability, that helps clients move away from self-judgment and towards greater self understanding and compassion. I meet clients where they are while encouraging them to step out of their comfort zone.
If you think we’d be a good fit or you’re curious to learn more, contact me via email or phone. I’d be honored to support you on your journey!
