I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate, I work with teens and adults (15+) to create a safe, supportive environment where they can explore and heal from struggles such as eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment concerns, and life transitions.

I believe that every person is the expert of their own life, and my role is to empower clients to recognize and build upon their strengths. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am trained at the Tier 1 level in Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders and I believe in a collaborative approach where we work together to come up with a treatment plan that best supports the client’s needs and goals.

As a Registered Yoga Teacher, I can also incorporate trauma-informed yoga into sessions.Trauma informed yoga is an approach that integrates the principles of trauma sensitivity and mindfulness into the practice of yoga. This practice emphasizes body awareness, grounding techniques, and breathing exercises, allowing individuals to reconnect with their bodies in a gentle and empowering way. When incorporated into therapy, trauma-informed yoga can complement traditional talk therapies, helping clients process trauma, reduce stress, and regulate emotions. The focus is on creating a sense of control, safety, and empowerment, which is essential for healing from past trauma.

I am especially passionate about working with those who are living with eating disorders, and I am currently pursuing my Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) certification and additional training from Embodied Recovery for Eating Disorders to deepen my expertise in this area.

Whether you’re seeking skills to cultivate a healthier relationship with your body, healing from trauma, or building resilience while working through anxiety and depression, I’m here to support you on your journey toward growth and self-discovery.
