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!

I work with clients who may be struggling with an eating disorder, anxiety, or trauma. During our initial sessions, we will explore current issues and work collaboratively to identify treatment goals that will guide our work together. During ongoing sessions, we will dive deeper into contributing factors, address challenges, and work on changing unhelpful patterns.
