Are you feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, or depression? Are you looking to improve your relationships or add new ones into your life but aren’t sure where to start? If you are struggling with disordered eating, fertility, burnout, self esteem, body image, relationships, or career, we can work together to bring about concrete, long term change. I work with college students, young adults, mid-career professionals, and all the life transitions in between. I specialize in areas of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationships, and career changes.
My aim in therapy is to help you find a more empowered life with a firmer understanding of yourself, and confidence from the therapy tools you’ve gained. My approach pulls from research proven, evidence-based treatments combined with a warm and collaborative style. We will help you to gain useful insights and specific skills to manage your concerns.
We may be a good fit if:
You’re moving through a big life transition such as becoming a parent, navigating fertility, shifting careers, making relationship changes, relocating, or caring for aging parents.
You’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or are wondering if it might fit your experience.
You’ve been feeling down, discouraged, or stuck in a depressive season and want to feel like yourself again.
Anxiety has been showing up more often, and you’re noticing its impact on your body which could include trouble sleeping, a racing heart, tension, panic, or irritability.
You’re hoping to start dating, change the way you date, or show up in your relationships in healthier, more meaningful ways.
You’re feeling worn down, burnt out, or struggling to find balance between work and the rest of your life.
You’ve been noticing challenges with body image, restriction, bingeing, or purging, and you’re ready for a more peaceful relationship with food and yourself.
You’re feeling the lingering impact of a traumatic event and want a safe space to heal.
You’re carrying grief or loss and want support as you move through it at your own pace.
