If you are a teen or adult struggling with your relationship with food, your body, or the emotional weight of new motherhood, finding a therapist who understands these specific challenges matters. Whether you are navigating postpartum anxiety, disordered eating, or simply carrying more than you can hold, I work with you to build real, lasting change. My clinical foundation was built in a residential treatment setting working with children and families navigating complex emotional and behavioral challenges. Supporting individuals during vulnerable seasons of life shaped me into a steady, compassionate clinician who values safety, depth, and meaningful connection in therapy. Earning your trust and helping you build a secure, empowering baseline for your care is an honor I hold deeply. Today, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work primarily with teens and adults seeking engaged, growth-oriented therapy. Therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you are used to managing everything on your own, but I am here to support you in recovering from relational trauma, unhealthy dynamics, and overwhelming life transitions.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship can serve as a powerful catalyst for growth, and I offer trauma-informed therapy that blends clinical expertise with genuine human connection to help you build emotional regulation, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create lasting change. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I help you identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and develop tools for emotional regulation and healthier relationships. I am an intuitive, deeply empathetic therapist who values warmth and thoughtful reflection over sarcasm or minimizing humor. I help clients identify cognitive distortions and long-standing patterns while honoring the resilience that brought them here. Sessions are collaborative, empathetic, and steady—a space to slow down, feel understood, and build sustainable skills for long-term well-being.

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but my hope is that our time acts as a quiet refuge where you can step away from the heavy demands of your daily life. Our first session is a thoughtful, collaborative starting point. We will spend time getting a clear picture of what is bringing you to therapy right now, exploring your current stressors, emotional state, patterns you have noticed, and what feels most important to address. I will gently ask questions to better understand your history, coping strategies, strengths, and any previous therapy experiences at a natural, comfortable pace without any pressure. This is not an interrogation; it is a guided conversation designed to help us both understand where you are and what you need. Together, we will begin identifying your client-centered goals, whether you have specific objectives or just know something does not feel sustainable anymore. You can expect a calm, structured, and compassionate environment where we clarify what meaningful progress looks like and outline a preliminary plan moving forward.
