Eating disorders and disordered eating can take up a lot of mental, emotional, and physical space, often leading to cycles of control, guilt, and anxiety around food and body image. Whether or not you have a formal diagnosis, your experience is valid and deserving of support. In a weight-inclusive and affirming space, we’ll work together to explore what’s underneath these patterns and support you in building a more compassionate, peaceful, and sustainable relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
Eating Disorders
Body image struggles can take up a lot of mental and emotional space, affecting how you see yourself and move through the world. Together, we’ll explore the messages, pressures, and experiences that shape how you see yourself. We’ll work toward softening the inner critic, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and building a more compassionate and grounded relationship with your body.
Body Image Concerns
Anxiety can feel like constant worry, overthinking, or a mind that never fully slows down. It may show up in your body, your thoughts, or your ability to feel present. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand what’s driving your anxiety and build tools to help you feel more grounded, calm, and supported in your daily life
Anxiety
Perfectionism and high-achieving tendencies can leave you stressed, anxious, and constantly self-critical. As a recovering perfectionist myself, I know there’s a way to live without overthinking, striving, or chasing perfection all the time. In our sessions, we’ll unpack these patterns, understand where they come from, and build self-compassion and realistic expectations, so you can thrive without tying your worth to what you do.
Perfectionism
Living with an eating disorder can feel exhausting, isolating, and all-consuming. Whether you’re struggling with restriction, bingeing, purging, or feeling stuck in cycles of control and shame, you don’t have to navigate it alone. In our work together, we’ll gently explore what’s underneath these patterns while supporting you in building a more compassionate and peaceful relationship with food and your body.
Compulsive Exercise
Trauma can shape how you see yourself, others, and the world, often showing up in patterns of anxiety, disconnection, or feeling stuck in the past. You may find yourself reacting in ways that feel hard to understand or control. In therapy, we move at your pace, creating a safe and supportive space to gently explore your experiences, build a sense of safety in the present, and support healing in a way that feels grounded and respectful of your story.
Trauma
Relationships can bring deep connection, but they can also feel confusing, painful, or repetitive when the same patterns keep showing up. You may notice yourself feeling anxious about closeness, withdrawing when things feel overwhelming, or struggling to trust and feel secure with others. In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and care, helping you understand where they come from and how they show up in your relationships today. The goal is to support you in building healthier, more secure connections where you can feel more understood, grounded, and emotionally safe.
Relationships & Attachment Issues
Life transitions, whether expected or unexpected, can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of feeling ungrounded. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to adjust to something new while managing everything else. In our work together, we’ll create space to slow things down, make sense of what’s shifting, and help you move through transitions with more clarity, stability, and self-trust.
Life Transitions
Couples therapy focuses on the relationship itself, the patterns you’re caught in, how conflict unfolds, and what gets in the way of feeling close and understood. Whether you’re navigating frequent arguments, emotional distance, trust ruptures, or feeling more like roommates than partners, therapy offers a space to step out of those cycles and relate to each other differently. I use Gottman Method principles along with a supportive, collaborative approach to help couples improve communication, repair disconnection, and strengthen emotional and relational trust. The work is centered on helping you build a more stable, connected, and intentional partnership.

Areas of Interest
I offer a warm, affirming, and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals to show up fully as themselves. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationships, processing family or cultural dynamics, or healing from religious trauma, you don’t have to explain or justify who you are here. Together, we can make space for your experiences with care and curiosity, supporting you in feeling more grounded, seen, and supported in your story.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming
I provide a Health at Every Size (HAES®) and intuitive eating–informed approach that supports a more peaceful and sustainable relationship with food and your body. This means focusing on health and well-being without weight as the primary measure of worth or progress. Together, we work toward tuning into your body’s cues, challenging diet culture messages, and rebuilding trust with yourself in a way that feels supportive rather than restrictive. My goal is to help you move away from shame and control and toward a more compassionate, flexible, and connected way of caring for yourself.
HAES-Informed Care
Religious trauma can show up in many ways, including confusion around identity, difficulty trusting yourself, guilt, fear, or feeling disconnected from your values and sense of self. You may be unpacking experiences from a high-control or rigid religious environment, or simply trying to make sense of what still feels heavy from the past. In therapy, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore these experiences at your own pace, support your healing, and help you reconnect with your own beliefs, voice, and sense of freedom.
Religious Trauma
High achievers and people-pleasers are often thoughtful, driven, and deeply caring—but that can come with a constant pressure to do more, be more, and keep everyone else okay at the expense of themselves. You may find it hard to slow down, say no, or prioritize your own needs without guilt. In therapy, we’ll gently explore these patterns, understand where they come from, and work toward creating more balance, boundaries, and self-trust. The goal is to help you feel more grounded in who you are—not just who you’ve learned to be for others.
High Achievers & People-Pleasers
I support college students and emerging adults during a time of life that can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you’re adjusting to college, exploring identity and direction, managing anxiety or academic stress, or figuring out what comes next, therapy can offer a grounded space to sort through it all. I previously worked in higher education and had the opportunity to work closely with college students, which gave me a deep understanding of the unique challenges this stage can bring. Together, we can focus on building clarity, confidence, and self-trust as you move forward.
College Students & Emerging Adults
I enjoy supporting performing artists and creatives including dancers, actors, musicians, and other expressive professionals who are navigating the pressures of performance, identity, and self-expression. As a former competitive dancer who worked closely with musicians and acting professionals, I understand some of the intensity of this world. Whether you’re experiencing burnout, anxiety, body image concerns, or perfectionism, therapy can offer a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and support both your mental health and creative life in a more balanced way.
