Introduction

I'm a therapist that meets you where you are to foster a collaborative space for growth and deeper self-understanding. My approach combines gentle guidance with direct honesty, prioritizing accountability and self-discovery. As a Certified Eating Specialist Consultant (CEDSC), I specialize in disordered eating as well as anxiety and depression, and I'm passionate about supporting individuals navigating life transitions. For trauma recovery, I integrate EMDR with person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills, empowering you to heal and move forward.
