If you are thinking about starting therapy, you've already taken the first step toward making a change. I strive to help you grow into your best self, to collaborate on holistic goal setting, to feel validated and heard, and have increased self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with eating disorders/disordered eating, compulsive exercise, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, relational stress, and life transitions. It is my belief that having an accepting, respectful, and collaborative relationship is necessary for the healing and change process to occur.

I am profoundly blessed to do work that I love. I strive to deeply witness, understand and hold space for you in your moments of pain and uncertainty. In times of hardship we must be compassionate with ourselves and our process. We all have uniquely rich and complex stories that shape our own meaning and understanding of ourselves and our world. I provide a safe, encouraging and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. My style is warm, collaborative and direct. I believe compassion and humor are vital ingredients for happiness and healing. My approach is integrative, I utilize a strength based, humanistic and relational perspective.

I believe we all possess innate health and wholeness. In my therapeutic work I assist individuals in reconnecting with their inherent health and resiliency so that they can live their lives more fully. At the center of my practice is a respectful, non-judgmental, and compassionate space used to explore each individual’s unique healing process.

Do you want to build stronger emotional connections with partners, friends, and family members? Are you wanting a life that is fulfilling because you have created a robust sense of self and vibrant relationships? …Let’s get started!

I specialize in individual and couples therapy for concerns such as anxiety, relationships and family of origin issues, self-esteem, and depression, navigating change etc.

Are you experiencing isolation and finding it hard to connect with the people you care about the most? With the right therapist, you can transform your life and relationships. I am ready to be that therapist. I offer a place to get messy, break down, and explore intense emotions without feeling judged. You need a new emotional tool box and honest, unbiased perspectives to sustain positive change. Congratulations on taking the first step towards health and vitality.

Even in the darkest hours there is hope that healing and wholeness is possible. Do you suffer with the effects of depression, anxiety, addiction, self-loathing or lack of self-esteem? Do you have trouble with anger, communication or setting boundaries? There is hope! You are the author of your own story, and a skilled, caring counselor can help you find the tools you need to navigate through the hard times and be able to feel empowered to continue writing your story.

Whether in relationship with your partner, your children, others in your life like a boss, friends, or family, we get stuck in loops and can't seem to break free. Maybe it's in a relationship with a part of yourself, an addiction or habit you haven't been able to shake, or even your relationship and experience of the wider culture. Life gets stuck sometimes, and finding freedom can be hard to do on your own. I'm honored to work with couples, families, individuals, parents, and teens to help untangle the knots, make sense of it all, and work together to carve out a path to where you'd rather be.
