You've spent so much of your life holding everything together that it can be hard to remember what it feels like to truly feel at home in yourself. Maybe you're constantly second-guessing yourself, struggling with body image or your relationship with food, carrying the weight of past experiences, or feeling emotionally exhausted from trying to meet everyone else's expectations. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or a major life transition, you don't have to carry it alone.

Together, we'll create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what's been weighing on you, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been buried beneath survival mode. Healing isn't about becoming someone different. It's about understanding yourself more fully, building a more compassionate relationship with yourself, and creating space for lasting change that feels genuine and sustainable.

I specialize in working with women navigating complex trauma, disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with are high-achieving students, athletes, professionals, and caregivers who seem to have everything together on the outside while quietly carrying self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or the lasting effects of trauma. I'm also passionate about supporting neurodivergent and BIPOC individuals as they explore their identities, honor their lived experiences, and discover what support and community can look like in their lives.

My Approach

My approach is warm, relational, intentional, and collaborative, with plenty of room for honesty, curiosity, and humor, if I may say so myself. I believe therapy works best when it feels both safe and genuine. You don't have to worry about saying the "right" thing or having everything figured out before you walk through the door. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right while gently challenging the shame, self-criticism, and survival patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Our sessions may begin with a grounding or mindfulness exercise to help you settle into the space before we dive into deeper work. We'll process difficult experiences, strengthen emotional regulation skills, improve relationships, celebrate your progress, and make sense of whatever you're carrying that week. I integrate relational therapy, motivational interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs because therapy should fit you, not the other way around.

You don't need to have the perfect words or everything figured out before starting therapy. You only have to show up. I'll meet you with compassion, honesty, and unconditional positive regard every step of the way. If you're ready to better understand yourself, quiet your inner critic, and build a life that feels more connected, compassionate, and authentically yours, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Experience

I’ve worked with individuals across a variety of treatment settings, including private practice, inpatient hospitals and treatment facilities, as well as IOP and PHP levels of care. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet clients with flexibility, nuance, and compassion across different stages of healing and levels of support.

In therapy, I value pairing humor and psychoeducation with practical, evidence-based tools to help clients feel both understood and empowered in their growth. My clinical approach is integrative and tailored to each individual’s needs, drawing from modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Narrative Therapy.
