You’ve been holding a lot for a long time, trying to stay strong for everyone else while struggling to feel okay yourself. Maybe you’re coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, or complicated feelings around food and body image. You want peace, confidence, and a sense of balance. In our work together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing you down and help you reconnect with your values and your voice. Wherever you are in your journey, I’ll meet you with empathy, curiosity, and hope.

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating eating disorders, substance use, mental health challenges and life stressors with a compassionate, collaborative approach. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, Health at Every Size, and evidence-based practices.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. Healing begins when you allow yourself to be supported, and you deserve a space where your story is met with warmth and understanding.
