I help people achieve meaningful, lasting change by supporting them through a process of deep self-awareness, healing, and intentional action. This results in increased self worth, a deeper sense of confidence, and stronger relationships. Together, we work to uncover and break through limiting beliefs to create space for growth, resilience, and transformation. My approach empowers you to reconnect with your most authentic self while fostering clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being. I truly believe that no matter where we are starting from change is possible to create a fulfilling life. This therapeutic space allows us to show up exactly as we are. We will work through difficult emotions, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves in a safe, non-judgmental space. I understand the challenges that come with mental health issues and life in general. My focus is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to heal and grow. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I work with individuals to address their unique needs and help them develop the tools and skills necessary to overcome their struggles and cultivate their strengths. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder or other mental health issues, I am here to support you on your journey to recovery and help you achieve a quality of life that feels good to you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We will foster self-trust, resilience, and lasting change so that you can move forward with clarity and confidence. This space is for you, exactly as you are.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Most of my work has been geared towards healing from eating disorders, disordered eating, addiction, and childhood core wounds. My work also includes working with those who experience depression/anxiety or are looking to connect deeper with their sense of self and purpose within this experience of being human.

My treatment methods

Somatic

I integrate somatic therapy into my practice to help clients deepen their awareness of the mind-body connection and process emotions stored in the body. Through gentle exploration of bodily sensations, breathwork, grounding techniques, and movement, I support clients in regulating their nervous system, releasing tension, and fostering a sense of safety within themselves. My experience with somatic work has shown me how powerful it can be in healing trauma, reducing anxiety, and increasing self-trust. By incorporating these techniques, I help clients move beyond cognitive understanding and into embodied healing, allowing for deeper emotional processing and long-term change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and behavioral challenges. Through exploring the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, I support clients in developing practical skills to reframe negative beliefs, manage anxiety, and create healthier coping strategies. My experience with CBT has shown me how effective it can be in building self-awareness, reducing distress, and fostering long-term behavioral change. By incorporating structured techniques such as thought restructuring, behavioral activation, and mindfulness-based interventions, I help clients feel more in control of their emotional well-being and aligned with their personal goals.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I incorporate Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and presence in their daily lives. Through breathwork, grounding exercises, and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, I guide clients in cultivating a deeper connection with themselves and their experiences. My approach encourages clients to slow down, tune into their bodies, and respond to challenges with intention rather than reactivity. I have found that mindfulness is a powerful tool in reducing anxiety, managing stress, and fostering self-compassion, allowing clients to navigate life with more clarity and balance.
