I work with adults and older teens (15+) struggling with anxiety, OCD, BFRBs, BDD, depression, body image issues, and other life concerns like role transitions and finding purpose. I have compassion for those trying to find their way in life and needing some help to find the strength that is already within them. With a background of studying and working in the medical field before making my transition to psychology and counseling, I am passionate about the mind-body connection and using a whole-person approach towards healing. I also believe that knowledge is power when it comes to mental health and am an advocate for spreading mental health awareness. I use a client-centered approach and believe that therapy is a collaboration between you and myself as your therapist. You are an expert on yourself, and I value your thoughts and opinions. My office is a safe space for you, and I look forward to working together towards your goals.
