Pronouns: She/Her

​

Life has a way of dealing blows that sometimes leave us feeling stuck and unsure of how to cope. I've been there, and I want to help you change your narrative and move forward. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to feel empowered to grow into your true authentic self. Societal expectations of what is "normal" and who we "should” be often create barriers to discovering ourselves. I hope to help you identify those barriers, acknowledge the impacts of systemic and societal biases, and help you discover what a meaningful life looks like for you.

​

I work with teens and adults facing a variety of life's challenges. I have lived experience and a passion for working with LGBTQIA+ issues and cancer related challenges. Additional areas of specialty include depression and anxiety disorders, self-harm, body dysphoria/body image distress, eating disorders, addiction, relationship struggles, adjustment issues, grief/loss, executive dysfunction/ADHD, and OCD.

​

I have worked with those navigating recovery from eating disorders at inpatient levels of care, as well as mood and anxiety disorders in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. I utilize a variety of modalities customized to meet each client's needs, and bring specialized experience with expressive arts, DBT, CBT, and ACT. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and I strive to take a collaborative approach with you in setting therapeutic goals, identifying helpful coping skills, and tracking progress.

​

In my free time I enjoy reading and all things outdoors, but especially travel, hiking, photography, and petting as many dogs as is humanly possible!
