About

Now accepting new patients! As a body image therapist, my mission is to empower individuals to develop a healthy, compassionate relationship with their bodies in Maryland. I am deeply committed to helping clients break free from the societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards that often lead to negative body image, disordered eating, and self-doubt. I am passionate about guiding individuals on their journey toward self-love, where they can embrace their bodies as they are, and live in alignment with their authentic selves. In addition, I am Board Approved Supervisor for LGPCs in Maryland. Openings now available. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who "gets” what happened to them on a deeper level in a place where you feel safe and validated. Therapy sessions are a combination of talking and exercises—whatever makes sense for you. We will always go at your pace, never pushing to places you’re not ready to be. As an experienced eating disorder/body image therapist located in Carroll County, Maryland, I have seen firsthand how deeply body image issues can affect all aspects of a person’s life; emotionally, socially, and physically. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel understood and supported as they navigate these complex feelings. Specialties: I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for adults experiencing anxiety, disordered eating, and poor body image. In our work together, you'll learn practical skills you put into action in day-to-day life. Credentials & Experience: I have 12 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults in Maryland.

"My approach is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, which allows for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy. I am trained in a variety of other modalities as well and can incorporate them based on your unique needs and goals. You and I will work together to determine which methods suit you best."
