About
If you're questioning your worth, feeling invisible, or struggling with boundaries, you're not alone. If you're facing emotional challenges that are hard to express or finding it difficult to recognize your feelings, you are not beyond help. I support individuals of all ages who are dealing with Depression, Anxiety, Anger, Low Self-Esteem, Shame, Trauma, and Eating Disorders (including binge eating, ARFID, and anorexia). My approach focuses on awareness, integration, and balance. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationships—with others and with yourself. If you're looking for someone to advocate for your needs, let's work together. Using evidence based approaches like ERP, DBT, CBT, Gestalt and Motivational Interviewing, lets work toward a more resilient you. Whether you're facing challenges in communication, intimacy, or navigating transitions, I am here to help you develop healthier patterns of connection. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m committed to providing you with the support you need to adjust to your life in a way that brings you a greater sense of peace and fulfillment. If you're willing to take a step toward healing, I invite you to reach out and begin the process of change today. Together, we can work toward a more balanced life. Specialties: Let this be an open space to safely experience difficult emotions and thoughts. Treatment can vary based on the individual but it is my goal to work collaboratively toward your goals and see a reduction in symptoms that are causing distress in your life within the first month of treatment. Credentials & Experience: I have a passion for working with individuals and couples in crisis. I'm prelicensed with a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy.
"Using Gestalt therapy, I focus on helping you become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment, fostering personal growth and self-acceptance. I also use DBT to regulate emotions, improve interpersonal communication skills and build coping skills for distress tolerance. You'll incorporate mindfulness CBT and expressive arts to explore underlying concerns creatively."
