If you are struggling with anxiety or stress I can help you. Whether it's focused on food and body issues, relationship problems or addiction or relates to our current climate, I provide both mental and somatic tools to help you on your journey to a more enjoyable and satisfying life. In a safe and caring environment we can examine your thoughts and behavior patterns and practice tools that shift your thinking and calm your nervous system to heal old wounds. 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.

I provide specialized support for those with anxiety and have 15 years of experience treating eating disorders in both residential and outpatient programs. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to address the thoughts that drive anxiety and behaviors that support it, but I also focus on the mind-body connection to provide a deeper more lasting healing.

My own lived experience allows me to provide a unique level of empathy and authentic understanding of the healing process. My somatic approach moves beyond talk therapy and engages "in the moment" experiences that allow the body's nervous system to release tension and learn to feel safe again. I provide tools for you to practice healing between sessions.

I use a combination of approaches in our work together depending on your preferences and needs which we will establish together. Cognitive behavioral therapy is usually included as it offers tools for examining and making shifts in your thought and behavior patterns. I also like to use somatic therapy to bring awareness and respond to your body's nervous system responses. (Updated 4/1/26).
