For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Some of the most powerful things we can do are to truly learn to understand and accept ourselves, practice self-compassion, and move forward in life being as authentic as possible. I work with adolescents and adults who are often exhausted from trying to fit the mold of what others or society expects in regard to their appearance, identity, relationships, education, and/or career. These efforts often leave folks feeling inferior and full of self-doubt. Through collaborative work, I strive for people to feel empowered and capable of fighting back against the inner critic and overcome fears to experience a life that is worth living. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, and anxiety. I practice from a Health At Every Size, body neutrality model, and I am a queer and trans affirming therapist. My approach includes CBT, DBT, and the feminist approach. I also offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. Therapy should be a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel unconditionally supported. I recognize that each person is unique with their own needs and goals, celebrating diversity is central to my values. I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help. It takes a lot of courage to take that first step. Be proud of yourself.

I work with people to help them find the solutions and answers to the questions and concerns they bring to therapy. I believe we are the experts in our own experiences, and that you know yourself and your own path of healing and mental health better than anyone else. I am here to provide my expertise and presence as a guide to help you gain a deeper self-understanding, along with the confidence and tools to make the change you want to see in your life.
