Life is a journey, and I value your openness in allowing me to be part of it while you navigate a challenging time. Whether it is a life transition, feeling anxious, struggling with negative body image and disordered eating or “food noise”, I want to work collaboratively with you to build confidence and coping skills. Before private practice, I worked as an inpatient and outpatient therapist for a hospital-based eating disorders program and was a behavioral health provider for an obstetrics and gynecological clinic, assisting people with pregnancy and postpartum concerns.

Practice and Approach

I am warm and supportive, and my counseling style combines techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, acceptance and commitment therapy, and compassion focused therapy. I enjoy having meaningful, genuine conversations and always open to processing whatever is on a client’s mind and will try to meet them where they are at.

My Clients

I work with people who are having concerns with eating, body image, anxiety, depression, life transitions, general life stress and overwhelm. I have a history of working in an OB/GYN clinic with postpartum and pregnant people.
