I work with individuals and couples navigating eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. If you’re experiencing overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, low mood, body image distress, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns with food or others, you’re not alone. Together, we use practical tools such as grounding exercises, mindful awareness, emotion regulation skills, and gentle behavior shifts to help you regain stability and clarity. My trauma-informed, relational approach offers a safe, supportive space to understand and transform patterns rooted in past experiences.
I integrate ACT, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based approaches to building emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating secure and fulfilling relationships. Through a trauma-informed, somatic lens, I prioritize nervous system regulation and pacing, helping you stay within your window of tolerance while building skills aligned with your goal
I support individuals and couples navigating relationship and family dynamics, as well as LGBTQIA+ identity and related stressors. My work is affirming, compassionate, and collaborative, helping you build clarity, connection, and self-trust. Book a free consultation with me.
