If you are reading this, I first want you to sit back and allow yourself to be proud--you are taking the first step towards your freedom. In my practice, I am not the one doing the healing work; instead, I want to empower you with the tools that you need to heal yourself. I recognize the importance of the therapist-client relationship, so I strive to create an non-judgmental space that encourages exploration of emotions with curiosity and compassion. I believe that everyone deserves to live a life they love and are proud of, and I hope to help you find that. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and practice from a Health At Every Size lens.
I am passionate about working with teens and young adults to find freedom from eating disorders, anxiety, and depression, as well as healing from church trauma and reconciling one's sexuality/gender identity with their faith. Sessions are tailored to each client's individual needs by utilizing multiple therapeutic approaches to help meet their therapy goals.
Wherever you are in your journey, all that you are and all that you carry is welcome here. My goal is to create a safe, inviting place where you can have the freedom to be undone and come just as you are in your process. Feeling your feelings is encouraged and celebrated in this space, so reach out if you are ready to get started. Healing is here for you!
