Therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale — where you’re supported, understood, and challenged in a way that helps you grow. My approach is person-centered and integrative, meaning we’ll work together to tailor therapy to your needs, values, and goals.
I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, and couples therapy, but I also work with clients navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and identity exploration. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and a therapist who values relational health, I aim to help you reconnect with yourself and those who matter most to you.
Clients describe me as warm, grounded, and collaborative. In our work, you remain the expert of your own experience — I’m here to help you uncover patterns, build insight, and find practical tools for lasting change. If you’re ready to start feeling more connected to yourself and your relationships, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
