About

I am passionate about women's mental health, holistic healing, recovery, and wellness. I believe that self-compassion opens the path to healing from shame and thriving within our bodies, minds, and spirits. I specialize in working with women who are experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, body image issues, childhood and adult trauma, substance use, life transitions, relationship issues, and to enhance mental wellness. Through self-compassion, mindfulness, and embodiment practices we will work together to meet your needs in therapy. I believe that being at peace with ourselves, others, and our lives is worth the journey. I am trained in and practice Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Gender-centered Therapy for women. I believe that we heal in community with others so I offer women's healing groups in addition to individual therapy.
