Feeling stuck? Trying to get back the focus, direction, and passion in life? In an environment free of judgment and rich in support, I believe it is important to utilize my client’s strengths to help empower the change process. By identifying values and specific goals, together we create a path to lead us in the desired direction. With my background in the education field, I have seen how children, as well as, adults struggle with the routine of the day when there is something heavy on their mind. I strive to help my clients identify how to remove this heaviness, and lead the life they have been wanting.

I help individuals who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, and disordered eating find freedom, clarity, and connection. Whether you're overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, constantly battling food rules, or disconnected from your body and values, you are not alone. Together, we can help you build a life driven by what truly matters to you, not fear, shame, or control. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, stuck in perfectionism, or exhausted from years of food and body shame, therapy can help you create space for a fuller, more meaningful life. I approach therapy with the same non judgmental acceptance and compassion I want you to give yourself. In therapy you will learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, build a kinder relationship with your mind and body, and reconnect with your purpose beyond anxiety, worry, or food. I also incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion to support sustainable growth. If you’re ready to stop struggling with your mind and start living, I’d love to work with you. Let’s help you turn down the volume on anxiety and step away from the mindfoodbody battle, so you can return to yourself. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
