In my practice, I work with clients to explore past experiences and how they might be influencing current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — nurturing insight and awareness to elicit growth and desired change. I view therapy as a collaborative process that can assist in identifying and working through challenges so that life can be lived with greater balance and self-compassion. I strive to create a safe space for individuals to freely express their authentic selves, while working together to set and progress toward therapeutic goals. As an eating disorder specialist, I am passionate about the link between mind and body — recognizing the importance of simultaneous healing. I am grounded in evidence-based practice, utilizing an integrated and trauma-informed approach influenced by cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and exposure response and prevention therapy. I welcome the opportunity to be a support to you. Please reach out if you are interested in working with me.
