Sometimes, the things we struggle with on the surface are connected to something deeper. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change can leave you wondering why things feel so hard, even when you’re doing your best.

I believe therapy is an opportunity to better understand yourself, make sense of your experiences, and find new ways of navigating life. My goal is to provide a warm, accepting space where you can show up as you are, without feeling like you need to have everything figured out. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build on your strengths, and work toward changes that feel meaningful and realistic for you.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, life transitions, body image concerns, and challenges with their relationship with food and their bodies. I have a particular interest in helping people who feel stuck in patterns of self-criticism, struggle with expectations they place on themselves, or have spent so much time trying to meet the needs of others that they’ve lost touch with their own.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that understanding yourself is an important part of creating lasting change. I don’t believe there is one right way to do therapy or that you need to follow a predetermined path to make progress. You bring your own experiences, strengths, and goals, and we’ll work together to figure out what is most helpful for you.

Sometimes, that means learning practical coping skills to manage anxiety, navigate difficult emotions, or respond differently to situations that feel overwhelming. Other times, it means slowing down to explore past experiences, recognize patterns, and understand how the way you learned to cope may still be affecting you today. Often, it’s a combination of both.

My background as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist informs my whole-person approach to mental health. Through my work in nutrition and behavioral health, I’ve seen how closely our thoughts, emotions, experiences, and behaviors are connected. This perspective is especially meaningful in my work with individuals navigating body image concerns, disordered eating, perfectionism, and the pressures surrounding food, health, and appearance.

I believe change happens through curiosity, compassion, and practice—not shame or the expectation of perfection. My hope is that our work together helps you develop a better understanding of yourself, feel more confident in your ability to navigate challenges, and build a relationship with yourself that feels a little less critical and a little more accepting.

You don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable to seek support, and you don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on before getting started. We’ll meet you where you are and take things one step at a time.
