About My Clients

My goal in therapy is to be a strong support for you as you own your story and learn to practice more love and acceptance for yourself. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary and vulnerable, and I hope to provide a safe space for you to identify your goals and begin to make positive, values-based changes toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

My Background and Approach

I have experience working with individuals in recovery from eating disorders, as well as substance use, and trauma. I utilize a combined approach of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to meet your therapy goals. I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, a structured, evidenced-based approach. My approach is strength-based to empower you to identify your core values, and challenge and conquer barriers that have kept you from living in true alignment with those values. I look forward to witnessing your bravery as you explore, learn, grow, and heal.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in meeting my clients where they are at and working to support them through the process of healing and growing. I believe in taking time to explore challenges so that we can learn from them along the way, rather than looking for a quick fix or Band-aid. I believe in a health at every size approach and encourage balance, variety and moderation in most aspects in life. I believe in identifying and working toward alignment with your true values to create a meaningful, fulfilling and authentic life. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal and grow through life's challenges with the right tools and support.
