It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.

If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!
