Amidst a mental health crisis and many stressors among us today, you can learn to empower your authentic self and build a life of value. I will always see you as a person first. Mental health can impact anyone - regardless of gender, age, body size, etc. I work alongside adolescents, young adults, and families/parents as we all tackle mental health struggles and build wellness through our personal values, commitments, communication, and, especially, through connection. Throughout, I bring warmth, humor, understanding, and assertive support. I specialize in treating anxiety, mood, trauma, self-esteem, and eating disorders. View 4 Photos From working at multiple levels of care, I have a unique perspective to healing, recovery building, and mental health wellness. I have an eclectic and personalized approach, drawing from cognitive and acceptance based orientations. I incorporate insight-oriented processes to inspire change, promote self-value, and strengthen skills. We all have struggles and difficulties in life - we do not have to keep hiding such away. So let's open up, gain more awareness of mental health, and identify beliefs and stigmas holding us back from being our best selves. Therapy is more than "just talking," depression is more than "stop being sad," and eating disorders are more than "just eat."
