Great to meet you!

I specialize in supporting women through the many transitions and challenges that can arise across the lifespan. Whether you're navigating pregnancy and the postpartum period, adjusting to parenthood and the changes it brings to your identity and relationships, or developing a healthier relationship with food and your body, I strive to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and understood.

I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work and have experience in both medical social work and private group practice. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients across the lifespan, with a particular focus on women's mental health and the emotional, relational, and physical changes that can occur throughout life.

I have advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International (PSI), with experience treating pregnancy and postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment to parenthood. I am also trained in Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) and have specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders. My clinical interests include disordered eating, mild binge eating disorder, body image concerns, and body dysmorphia. I also have experience supporting women using GLP-1 medications and those adjusting after bariatric surgery as they navigate changes in eating behaviors, body image, and their relationship with food.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself. Together, we'll build on your strengths, better understand patterns, and identify strategies that align with your goals and values.

I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E), while tailoring treatment to your individual needs and experiences.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a shared understanding of what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your current concerns, relevant personal history, your strengths, and what you hope to gain from treatment.

I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process and work with you to identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and can begin moving toward the changes that are most important to you.
