I believe in empowering individuals to take ownership of their lives by being self compassionate, accountable, and fostering a balanced sense of self-trust. I believe that being curious about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is the first step toward meaningful change. Building awareness allows you to understand yourself better and recognize the patterns that may be holding you back. Many of us are trapped in unhelpful cycles and patterns that hinder our progress. By identifying these, we can work together to break these cycles, setting you on a path towards achieving your goals and finding fulfillment.

Your future depends on what you do in the present. Making changes, no matter how small, can afford you the opportunity to increase your personal growth. For many people knowing where to start can be the greatest hurdle. For others, knowing does not always lead to "doing". Counseling is one avenue in exploring what you can do to make a difference in your life.

We all know that the majority of dieters inevitably gain back all the weight they’ve lost and more. Emotional eating is a coping mechanism, a survival tactic. This self soothing technique is learned early in life to numb uncomfortable feelings. Dieting focuses on the external rather than the internal cues which fuel overeating. The repetitive cycle of gaining and losing weight leads to feelings of hopelessness, shame, failure, and desperation. In order to shift dysfunctional eating patterns, one must identify underlying experiences and belief systems that perpetuate emotional eating.

Due to my own personal experience with childhood trauma, I work mostly with clients who have suffered trauma/PTSD. I also have experience working with those who have gone through or are going through a divorce, who are experiencing anxiety, and depression. I have a more collaborative approach. I tend to be more conversational and laid back. I am also very patient and will respect your timeframe. Not everyone wants to address the hard parts right away. I enjoy working with clients who are consistent and put in the work.
