About My Clients

Have you lost interest in things you used to enjoy? Do tasks such as nourishing your body, being around other people, or finding motivation feel daunting and stressful? I understand that asking for help can be hard, so I strive to provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental, validating environment for clients to feel safe. I work with my clients to create individual goals such as to identify sources of their anxiety and depression, and find tools to help them thrive.

My Background and Approach

My passion is working with teens and adults who struggle with self-esteem, body image, and anxiety just to name a few. I have extensive experience working with eating disorders on all the levels of care from inpatient all the way through outpatient levels of care. I also use my previous training as a substance use counselor to assist with facilitating change and to create new habits. I believe, part of being human is the need to feel connected. For that reason, I love helping families come together, validate one another’s experiences, and learn to communicate more effectively. I integrate dialectical behavior therapy to build interpersonal skills, which promotes the development of creating meaningful relationships. I also use a combination of psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy based on your individual needs. I want to be your partner and guide in assisting to build healthy coping skills while helping you discover the strengths that you already have.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I do not like labels, and believe that everyone is an individual, not made to fit into a box or a disorder. For that reason I strive to meet my clients where they are at, and tailor treatment specifically for them. Clients tell me that the calm, open, and motivational space that I provide in therapy allows them to feel comfortable letting themselves be vulnerable and face their fears, knowing that they have a safe space to come back to for support. I have found therapy to be an important tool in my own life. I strongly believe asking for help is a strength, despite what society may preach. I am also passionate about rescuing animals, and find yoga to be mentally and physically healing. I want to learn more about what may be healing for you. Maybe you are feeling stuck, unheard. If so, let’s talk about how therapy can help.
