About My Clients

I am passionate about promoting a neutral and peaceful relationship with food, body acceptance, and positive self-esteem. I understand, personally and professionally, the importance of maintaining a well-balanced lifestyle for the body, mind, and soul and working to feel confident in all of your identities. Life transitions and changes in relationships can come with a lot of anxiety, and it would be an honor to work with you in how to balance all that life throws your way.

My Background and Approach

In a society that causes us to compare our own path to those around us, it is very easy to feel lost in who we are and what our purpose is. I encourage my clients to tap into their individual strengths in order to grow into the most fulfilling version of themselves. In using a holistic approach, we will work on supporting the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of your life. I integrate CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, health at every size (HAES), and recovery models into her my work as well as using expressive art and movement when appropriate in providing comfort in any way possible.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that growth comes from change, and although sometimes difficult, it can help shape us into who we are. Therefore, there is strength in reaching out for help, as it shows you are ready for change. I have gone through my own struggles in terms of how I see myself and my identities, but in working with a therapist I was able to grow more confident in who I was, inside and out. I am an active advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health and am a member of NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) and LGBTQ+ community. I am an avid runner and love the outdoors, but also enjoy a movie night in with my two cats. I hope we can connect and pursue your journey of growth together.
