In my therapeutic practice, I embrace a person-centered philosophy. My primary goal is to cultivate a safe and non-judgemental supportive space where individuals feel empowered to share their experiences openly. A key facet of my specialization lies in assisting those who grapple with issues such as suicidality, self-harm, depression, anxiety, and LGBTQ-related concerns. By providing a compassionate and understanding environment, I aim to guide individuals toward resilience, self-discovery, and a more fulfilling life, especially during the intricacies of their struggles.

I specialize in working with adults and couples on weight loss, weight management, and overcoming emotional eating through a holistic approach integrating mind, body, and spirit. Whether both partners need to lose weight or one partner struggles with emotional eating and/or weight loss, couples therapy provides space to address inner and outer obstacles that prevent reaching and maintaining a healthy weight— together. Working together to overcome struggle in itself can be a powerful process to strengthen a relationship. I also facilitate weight loss groups.

If you're looking to live your best life and need a safe place to work through life's challenges, I can help!

My approach to therapy is warm, companionate, and empathetic. My philosophy is that everyone can become the happy, effective person they desire. Finding and using new skills to access happiness is critical. I use Motivational Interviewing to help my clients gain the motivation they need to change the behaviors that are preventing them from making healthier personal or professional decisions. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches also helps me address the depression and anxiety that we all experience on our journey through life.
