About My Clients

I believe therapy is an opportunity for us to dive deeper into the patterns and obstacles that are blocking us from connecting with our true selves and a higher quality of life. I am open to all walks of life and enjoy learning from each person I have the honor of working with. I enjoy working with individuals who are willing to learn how to be vulnerable and ready to slowly make shifts within themselves and their lives.

My Background and Approach

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 unpredictable, beautiful experience of being human. I completely understand the need for a safe space where you can be heard without judgment and with compassion. I want to provide that for you while slowly challenging unhelpful patterns that may be arising in your day-to-day life. I work from a lens of empowerment and clarity to assist you with utilizing this space for what feels most prominent. This may include peeling back the layers of your experiences, allowing space for and practicing holding painful emotions (grief, sadness, anxiety, anger), building upon and learning new skills, cultivating your strengths, and offering space for vulnerability.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy is an opportunity for us to dive deeper into the patterns and obstacles that are blocking us from connecting with our true selves and a higher quality of life. Therapy offers a safe space for exploration and growth that is difficult to find in the hustle of day-to-day life. A place to learn new tools, embody our most authentic self, and process life’s challenges. Therapy isn’t only for when we are struggling but also for when we are doing well which allows space for cultivating and building upon our strengths. "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change." ~Carl Rogers.
