“ I believe healing starts with self-compassion—let’s quiet the inner critic and make space for growth. ”

Therapy with Me

I believe that healing starts with self-compassion. In our work together, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment. My approach is collaborative and grounded in mindfulness, helping you build awareness and resilience as you navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with body image concerns, anxiety, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, we will work together to uncover what’s holding you back and develop strategies that align with your values.

I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, meaning I embrace body diversity and encourage a relationship with food and movement rooted in self-care, not restriction. I also integrate mindfulness and self-compassion techniques to help you shift unhelpful patterns and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way. Therapy with me is about progress, not perfection—I’m here to support you in moving toward the life you want, one step at a time.
