Introduction

Are you a high-achieving woman who feels like you’re holding it all together on the outside—but struggling with not feeling like yourself on the inside? Maybe you feel stuck in cycles of perfectionism, overthinking, or self-criticism, and no matter how hard you try, it never quite feels like enough. I specialize in helping women heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. As an LPC-Supervisor, Certified Menopause Mental Health Provider, & Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant with over 15 years of experience, I work with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and the deeper patterns that often drive them. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that your struggles make sense in the context of your story. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which helps process past experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming in your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll work to quiet the inner critic, build trust with your body, build resilience, & help you feel more present, connected, and in alignment with yourself. I’m also a mom of four and an Enneagram 1, so I understand the pressure to carry it all. Therapy with me is a space where you don't have to hold it all together.
