I approach eating disorders with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment. Together, we explore the emotional, behavioral, and environmental factors that may contribute to unhealthy relationships with food, body image, or self-worth. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT and motivational interviewing, I help clients develop healthier coping skills, challenge negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and work toward sustainable recovery while honoring their individual goals and n

When working with PTSD, I provide a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed environment where clients can process difficult experiences at their own pace. I help individuals understand how trauma impacts emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships while developing practical coping strategies to manage symptoms. Through collaboration, emotional regulation skills, and evidence-based interventions, we work toward reducing distress, restoring a sense of safety, and rebuilding confidence and resil

I support individuals with bipolar disorder by helping them better understand mood patterns, identify triggers, and develop strategies to maintain emotional stability. Through psychoeducation, CBT techniques, and supportive therapy, we work on strengthening coping skills, improving self-awareness, and managing the challenges that can accompany mood fluctuations. My goal is to provide consistent support while empowering clients to build routines, improve functioning, and enhance overall well-bein

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be contributing to emotional distress. Together, we examine patterns that affect mood, relationships, and daily functioning while developing healthier ways of thinking and responding to challenges. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that equips clients with tools to improve coping skills, build resilience, and create lasting positive change.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative and client-centered approach that helps individuals explore their goals, values, and readiness for change. Rather than directing or persuading, I help clients uncover their own motivations and strengths while addressing ambivalence that may be preventing progress. This supportive process encourages self-reflection, increases confidence, and empowers clients to make meaningful decisions that align with the life they want to create.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) emphasizes strengths, possibilities, and practical solutions rather than focusing solely on problems. I work with clients to identify what is already working, clarify their goals, and build on existing resources and successes. By focusing on achievable steps and future-oriented change, clients often gain a greater sense of hope, confidence, and empowerment as they move toward meaningful improvements in their lives.
