I work great with...

  • If you’re a young adult juggling big life changes—like starting college or a new job—and trying to stay grounded.

  • If you’re stuck in an eating disorder or caught in the cycle of dieting and bingeing.

  • If you feel like a perfectionist who wants recovery to be “just right” and feels frustrated when it’s not.

  • Family members trying to support a loved one in recovery, but it’s hard to know what helps and what hurts.

  • If you’re new to therapy and not sure where to begin—but you know you’re ready to start.

  • If you’re exploring your Queer identity and want space to unpack who you are, without judgment.


Style & Approach

Clients often describe me as warm, open, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when it’s a true collaboration—so I welcome your feedback and adjust my approach to fit you, not the other way around. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your pace, and work together to uncover what really matters to you. We'll use your strengths, values, and insights as tools to guide the way forward—because this journey is yours, and I’m here to walk alongside you.

Some of the approaches I Use...

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Expressive Arts

  • Emotionally Focused Family Therapy

  • Motivational Interviewing

  • Solution-focused

  • Client-centered

  • Trauma-Informed Care

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
