I believe that change is possible for anyone who wants it. It is my passion to help you on your journey to a joyful and satisfying life. I do this by using cognitive behavioral techniques and providing a safe and loving environment in which to heal old wounds and give you tools to manage your current challenges. This includes; anxiety, depression, addiction, food and body issues, or relational problems. Wherever you find yourself I can help you to develop a compassionate view of yourself and empower you to take steps towards getting your unmet needs fulfilled.

If you have an eating disorder I know you and your family are suffering deeply. I have 10 years of experience treating eating disorders in both residential and outpatient programs. This gives me an in-depth understanding of the unmet needs underlying eating disorders and how we can satisfy them.

Climate change distress is now a well documented experience globally so if you're struggling with overwhelm about it you are not alone. Climate emotions vary widely and can include sadness, despondency, anger and outrage, guilt and shame, fear and panic, gratitude and hope. I'm trained to help you connect to individual, nature-based and community resources.
