Life is hard and sometimes asking for help is even harder. Beginning therapy can be nerve wrecking, but it can be a place to build yourself and the relationships around you. Everyone’s experiences and obstacles are different, which is why I prioritize a collaborative style that is adjustable to your needs. Creating an environment that is warm, empathetic, interactive and humorous is important in achieving a safe and non-judgemental space for my clients.

I have been able to work closely with children, adolescents, and adults to treat a wide variety of concerns ranging from mood and developmental disorders, chronic pain, substance abuse, trauma, hoarding, family stress, academic distress, and academic avoidance. I am dedicated to providing a safe environment for clients in the LGBTQIA+ community, those who hold multiple identities, and those who have a diverse cultural background. I strive to support others to examine how these identities may impact the way they interact with the world around them.

I work with people who are struggling through transitions. Sometimes the movement between life phases brings about struggles, questions, and the need for behavior change. My active, and direct style will challenge you to examine the questions you have and work together to identify strategies to relieve your distress. I utilize a very direct style with an emphasis on "telling the truth" and learning to increase one's accountability in their life. In short, the dialogue between us will help challenge you to obtain the necessary changes in your life, appreciating how you got here and where to go next.

I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders and addictions. I believe entering into a therapeutic relationship requires courage and just enough hope and willingness to begin. You've been turning to a substance: whether it's alcohol, other drugs, compulsive eating, starving, bulimia, however it's not working. A part of you wants to stop but you not in control, you have lost the power of choice. Profound shame accompanies these illnesses and this shame interferes with asking for help. Addictions/eating disorders robs a person of all they value, asking for help is vital, we cannot recover alone.
