Adolescence is a time of great change—emotionally, socially, and physically. Teens often face complex challenges, from navigating school and social pressures to dealing with shifting family dynamics and developing their sense of identity. I aim to create a collaborative, safe, and non-judgmental space for teens to explore their thoughts and feelings. The tools they learn now will help them cope with the many challenges they’re likely to face ahead.

I work with adults struggling with a variety of issues including relationships, grief, career transitions, self-esteem, disordered eating, unresolved trauma, and more. Together, we'll identify the root causes of your struggles and develop practical tools to help you cope, heal, and grow. My approach is non-judgmental while also providing honest feedback to help you gain clarity, build emotional resilience, and discover new ways to approach life's challenges.

Therapy with families focuses on the system as a whole, understanding each individual member’s strengths and how they play a part in a family’s dynamic. As a team, we will aim to build connection, communicate effectively, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges together.

Healing cannot happen alone and group therapy offers a space to be seen and learn from the wisdom of others who may be struggling with similar things. I currently facilitate groups for teens and adults to navigate body image struggles and disordered eating based on the principles of intuitive eating, body respect, and making peace with food. Sometimes it’s easier to put words to feelings or experiences by hearing from others who have similar experiences. Reach out for current group offerings!

Anxiety & Inner-Criticism
Struggling with anxiety and self-esteem can feel like a constant uphill climb—one that’s exhausting, lonely, and sometimes overwhelming. My goal is to help you find clarity confidence, and calm as we work through the challenges together.
In therapy, we’ll explore the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck in self-doubt or worry, and gently shift toward a mindset that feels more empowering and supportive. This is a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are—messy moments and all—while building skills to manage stress, quiet the inner critic, and reconnect with your strengths.
Whether it’s learning to set boundaries, cultivating self-compassion, or simply finding ways to breathe a little easier, our work is tailored to you. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and capable of embracing life’s uncertainties with resilience and self-assurance.

Women's Life Transitions
Pregnancy and approaching menopause can feel overwhelming and isolating—but they can also be deeply empowering. I’m here to help women navigate these major life transitions, focusing on prenatal and perimenopausal phases. Together, we’ll prioritize your mental and spiritual well-being as a foundation for supporting your physical health.
In our work, we’ll tap into your unique feminine intuition and help you embrace these transformative moments as meaningful rites of passage. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, grieve, practice self-advocacy, set healthy boundaries, and find calm in the unknown.
When it comes to prenatal therapy, I honor the deeply personal decision to bring new life into the world. Together, we’ll reflect on the experiences that have shaped your journey, preparing you for the new and evolving identity of motherhood. The goal of both prenatal and perimenopausal therapy is to empower you to embrace every part of your story with compassion and empowerment.

Body Image & Disordered Eating
After spending decades in the competitive dance world, I know how easy it is to internalize harmful myths about food and body image without even realizing it. These beliefs can quickly take over, leaving you trapped in constant worry about your next meal or how you look.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. There’s a life where thoughts about food and your body don’t dominate your days—where you have the time and energy to focus on the relationships and passions that truly matter to you.
I use a Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating approach to help you break free from the toxic grip of diet culture and body shame. But I also understand that body image is often just the surface. Together, we’ll dive deeper to explore how your past experiences shape your present, develop healthier ways to process emotions, and build tools that help you find peace with food, your body, and yourself.
