Trauma can affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience safety long after an event has ended. I provide trauma-informed therapy that helps clients understand their responses, identify patterns and triggers, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of coping. We move at a pace that respects your autonomy while helping you build greater safety, connection, and trust in yourself.

Parenting can bring love and connection alongside frustration, guilt, uncertainty, and conflict. I support parents who want to better understand their child’s behavior while also examining their own responses and patterns. Together, we work on communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, consistency, repairing relationship ruptures, and creating a home environment where both the parent and child can grow.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and difficult relationships with food. My approach is compassionate, weight-inclusive, and HAES-aligned. Rather than using shame or rigid rules, we explore the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns influencing your relationship with food and your body while building skills that support sustainable recovery.

Sometimes words aren’t enough to describe what you’re feeling. I incorporate expressive arts and creative activities to help clients explore emotions, experiences, and patterns in a different way. Art, sensory activities, writing, and other forms of creative expression can provide another pathway for processing experiences, increasing self-awareness, and expressing things that may be difficult to put into words. No artistic ability is needed.

CBT helps us explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and examine whether those patterns are still serving you. Rather than simply telling you to “think positively,” I use CBT to help you develop greater awareness, challenge unhelpful beliefs, build practical coping skills, and make more intentional choices.

Have you ever felt like one part of you wants something while another part wants the complete opposite? I use IFS-informed approaches to help clients explore these different “parts” with curiosity rather than judgment. We work to understand what those parts may be protecting, where certain patterns originated, and what they need—creating space for greater self-compassion, understanding, and choice.
