I really enjoy the work that I do as a professional counselor. I like the fact that this work is my first choice of profession and not my fall back or secondary job. I have worked hard to continue training and improving my craft for over 20 years. I believe my core principle in doing this work is to focus on quality of work over quantity of clients. My goal is to provide the very best effort for each client/family I am fortunate enough to encounter to help them find their best version of themselves. I do not offer teletherapy. Only in-person sessions.

The days are long and lethargic. The headaches, backaches and physical pain are nothing compared to the darkness that is so oppressive. Then there are the moments where, like a wave, emotions from the past (a past you'd rather forget) wash over you unannounced. Things you thought you had hidden away or forgotten about pop up when you least expect, and least want them. Family and friends throw words around like lazy, flakey, and unpredictable; or perhaps even more official-sounding terms like bipolar, depressed, or PTSD. Right now, it feels like there won’t be an end, like there is no hope. It doesn't have to.

Whether it's a struggle with anxiety, relationships issues, or past trauma we find ways to keep going. Yet, sometimes, there is still something lacking, unfinished or stale about our lives. Some of us have been surviving for so long we forgot that living is a possibility-or, maybe, never got the chance to live unencumbered in the first place. I love working with individuals to live empowered lives instead of merely surviving the days ahead.

Do you often feel like you're not good enough, no matter how hard you try? I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, life transitions, and the effects of unhealthy relationships, including narcissistic abuse, betrayal, and people-pleasing. Many clients come feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of their worth. Together, we focus on rebuilding self-trust, strengthening boundaries, increasing confidence, and creating healthier relationship patterns. Using EMDR, IFS, CBT, and mindfulness, I provide a supportive space for healing, growth, and lasting change.

When imagining my ideal client, I see individuals from diverse backgrounds—LGBTQ+ youth navigating identity and acceptance, juveniles facing emotional and behavioral challenges during critical developmental years, adults striving for personal growth or healing from past trauma, and men working to overcome stigma around mental health and express vulnerability. Each client brings a unique set of needs: the need to be heard without judgment, to feel safe in their identity, to rebuild trust, and to move toward a more empowered and authentic self.

Body Image Therapists
How does body image affect mental health?
Poor body image can influence mental health because it can reduce self-esteem and decrease functioning in other areas of one's life. Negative body image may hinder someone's ability to perform daily tasks, including professional and social responsibilities, because they may feel self-conscious or shame surrounding their appearance; a desire to change one's body as a result of negative body image can also trigger behaviors such as extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or obsessive social media comparison. Poor body image is associated with a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, although many people experience negative body image even in the absence of meeting the diagnostic criteria for any mental health disorders.
What does it mean to have a positive body image?
Body image refers to how one internally perceives their appearance and internally "talks" to themself about their body. Positive body image is therefore indicative of a positive perception of one's self and positive internal self-talk that underscores one's strengths. People who have good body image often have higher self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence, and they also often recognize how external factors, such as social media or relationship patterns, can influence body image. While body image can change at different life stages and in response to various triggers, practicing self-acceptance and a body-positive mindset can help maintain a more stable sense of positive body image.
Is body image the same as self-esteem?
Body image and self-esteem are often related, but they are distinct concepts. Self-esteem is a broader term that can be shaped by a number of factors outside of body image, including one's functioning at school or in the workplace; it refers to one's capacity to handle various life challenges. Poor body image can be one way in which one's self-esteem is reduced. Reduced self-esteem as a result of poor body image can cause individuals to feel negative about their appearance, withdraw from social interactions, and/or rely on harmful behaviors as a coping mechanism. A "body positive" approach to body image therapy is therefore often used to encourage a more positive view of one's self and thus encourage better self-esteem.
What type of therapy is best to foster a positive body image?
The type of therapy best suited to improve body image depends on each person, as there is not a single therapy specific to body image improvement. That said, many individuals with poor body image benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapy. CBT can be used to help challenge distorted or negative thoughts about one's body, while ACT and mindfulness practices can facilitate a more positive body image through self-acceptance and identification of one's personal strengths. Regardless of treatment type, clients should look for body image therapists who encourage the development of a sense of self outside of their external appearance and help clients reduce unwanted behaviors developed as a result of poor self-esteem, such as dieting or disordered eating patterns.
