About

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck between wanting change and fearing it. Carl Rogers once said, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change". This resonates deeply with my approach to therapy: when you feel truly seen and accepted, you can begin to explore yourself with greater freedom and ease. My goal in each session is to create a safe, warm, and open space where you can discover your truest self. I offer a direct yet compassionate approach, helping you navigate life's challenges with new perspectives and greater self-understanding. I specialize in eating disorders and body image issues, helping clients embrace a mindset for sustainable healing and "food freedom". I'm passionate about improving self-esteem, self-understanding, and interpersonal relationships. I also work with adolescents and teens, offering a supportive space to express themselves, gain clarity, and navigate struggles.
