About My Clients

I work with clients ages 12 and up—adolescents, teens, and adults—navigating ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, addiction, codependency, body image issues, and low self-esteem. Many grow up feeling “too much,” scattered, or like they missed a rule everyone else learned. These experiences can lead to shrinking yourself, overworking, or overthinking just to feel okay. Over time, this can turn into toxic shame—the belief that something is wrong with you.

My Background and Approach

I offer trauma- and shame-informed therapy for challenges connected to toxic shame (the feelings of not being good enough). Using insight-oriented therapy to uncover patterns, increase self-awareness, and explore emotions; alongside cognitive behavioral therapy to shift thoughts and behaviors; I help clients build self-compassion and lasting change.
