Sometimes it can feel easier to turn away from the world when it feels like everything is out of our control. What we don’t realize is that in doing so, we also turn away from ourselves. Healing and transformation begins by learning to sit with and connect with the parts of ourselves that feel frightening or painful. As a therapist I strive to help you find the barriers that are limiting your ability to connect, be heard, and be valued. I tailor my treatment approaches to ensure that it is reflective of your strengths, life experiences, and cultural identity.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you are unable to see yourself as more than a body? That diet culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that it feels impossible to escape? You are not alone. We live in a world that has convinced us that pursuing an unrealistic thin ideal is the key to happiness. That if we "work hard enough," that void we constantly feel, will eventually go away. That's why my goal is to help you reach a place of acceptance so that you can experience a more fulfilling life, free from diet culture and the toxicity that ensues.
