NOTE: I am not accepting new private practice clients at this time. By choosing to participate in therapy, you are giving yourself or your child a precious opportunity to pause. Together we will create a safe space to develop insight, participate in self-discovery and engage in healing. You will be viewed from a holistic standpoint, and our work together may help you anchor yourself to the present moment. From there, we will explore how you got here, and where it is that you would like to go. There are often an abundance of discoveries throughout the healing process along with many opportunities to create the change you seek.
Fundamentally a compassionate and creative person, I operate from a trauma-informed, relational perspective and am committed to anti-oppressive practice. I specialize in treating eating disorders and trauma, along with general mental health. I use an eclectic approach; we may incorporate mindful self-compassion or somatic awareness in our work together.
You will find me to be a warm, empathetic and authentic person, and I would be honored to be a part of your growth and healing. I am here to provide nonjudgmental support, in addressing whatever you might be going through. Please reach out with any questions that you might have to see if I might be the right fit for you or your child.
