Are you running your life, or is life running you? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected? Now more than ever, many feel pressured to normalize anxiety, depression, and hopelessness as just a part of life as they struggle to heal from painful wounds of past trauma and abuse or navigate life transitions, grief and loss, or self-image issues. But stuffing emotions and pushing your needs away can lead to long-term problems for your mind and body. Specializing in the invisible wounds and unspoken struggles that can steal our joy, I’m passionate about helping others experience the freedom and healing I know firsthand is possible.

Thoreau said "There are a thousand hacking at the branches to every one striking at the root." In therapy, I believe our most valuable work is striking at the root of issues rather than hacking merely at the many branches/symptoms of the root. This latter approach often leads to resolving one manifestation of a problem only to experience new manifestations down the road. Whether the symptoms are anxiety, depression, addictions, or maladaptive relationships, it is worthwhile to examine the deeper sources of our pain. One of my primary roles will be to provide a steadfast ground of compassion, patience, and truth for your work.

In today’s world, women and girls are faced with unimaginable stressors in everyday life — negative criticism from parents and friends about body image, anxiety and stress regarding world news, and difficulties relating to bullying, communication, and relationship difficulties on social media just to name a few. These everyday issues can trigger depression, anxiety, and trauma — not to mention exacerbate already present mental health issues such as mood disorders, eating disorders, or OCD. Our goal is to open up a conversation for women and girls to speak freely and openly about their mental heath in a space that supports women.

I believe that the therapeutic process begins with, and is dependent upon, the relationship between therapist and client. Therapy is most effective when a person feels safe, supported, and understood. This allows them the opportunity to be vulnerable and to delve into the various hardships they are experiencing. I work hard to provide this environment, so my clients feel welcomed and encouraged to engage in therapy.

Beneath every behavior exists a story. The events of one’s story can often create a fragmented internal world- a sense of disconnection from one’s truest self. In this isolated space, emotions can vary from numb and out of touch to overblown and out of control. Shame can make showing up feel like the exposure will kill you. Guilt can feel like it will never end. Fear can evoke emotional paralysis which guards an ever-spinning mind. Sadness can feel all-consuming. Making sense of where you’ve been, who you are, why you do what you do, and how you’d like your story to unfold is part of the growth process.

Do you often feel like something is wrong with you? Do you wonder why other people seem to be happy while you can’t be? Are you tormented by excessive worry and overthinking? Does being social and vulnerable even with people you trust terrify you? Life by itself can be hard. Instead of parties and parades, it’s often obstacles, infidelity, fighting, betrayal, moves, funerals, and divorces. But every day, people just like you, are starting therapy and finding many accessible paths to joy, peace of mind, and a grounding that is their birthright. Are you in need of this type of relief?

I am passionate about working with clients presenting with eating disorders, and co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other women's issues. In my practice, I use a treatment model that is evidence-based and eclectic, as I believe each client's needs vary. These models include, but are not limited to, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy. Beginning the journey to recovery from an eating disorder is difficult and one that requires courage-I strive to create an environment that is built on a foundation of trust for this process.
