Waitlist for new clients
If you’re an adolescent (12+), adult, or senior struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, family conflict, or workplace stress/conflict, I’d love to help you untangle the “why” behind what’s hurting you and find new ways to move through the world that are more authentically you.
I use a blend of approaches to meet the unique needs of each person. I draw from frameworks like psychodynamic, attachment, and systems theories and techniques such as mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I strive to be collaborative and nonjudgmental, providing a safe space to explore old patterns and create new ones.

Whether you are wanting to work on disordered eating and body image, past or recent trauma, difficulties with mood, a stressful relationship, or general life stress and change, I want to offer you the chance you deserve to move forward the way you'd like.
I want to help you heal, grow, and thrive in your life. I know you are tired of being in pain and want the stress (and the ways it's impacting your life) to end. I want that for you, too. I believe each person has inner strengths and resources, but we sometimes lose touch with them. I want to help you reconnect with those strengths, build new strategies that work in your life, as well as increase your resilience and find ways to thrive.

People say you are a good person with a perfect life, yet you don't feel like it. People say it will work out, yet nothing changes. Some people even say you should wait it out, pray it off, or let it be, yet your heart is not letting you forget about it. In the end, you feel alone. You may feel afraid or ashamed to even talk about it with people close to you. You wonder if others will truly understand you and your situation. You struggle to open up because you do not want to be judged. And I get it.

I have 10 years of experience working with people struggling with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, trauma & all the different issues people face from age 12 and up.
I have found teaching DBT skills (dialectical behavior therapy) is helpful for those seeking new coping skills and use EMDR when working through trauma with someone. Both of these modes have been beneficial for many clients that I have worked with. I am a Christian and will integrate faith into therapy if it is welcomed.

You’re the one who keeps it together. The go-to. The strong one. But inside? You’re tired. Tired of second-guessing every text, shrinking your needs, and pretending you're fine when you’re falling apart. You wonder, Why can’t I just be okay? You’re craving clarity. Boundaries that stick. Peace that doesn’t feel like a fantasy. You want to stop abandoning yourself to make others comfortable. You’re beyond ready — you just need a little guidance to get moving.

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
