Starting counseling can be likened to setting off into the woods, unsure where the path leads but hoping to find clarity in the journey. The right counselor can help you navigate the brambles and find the path again when you lose your way. I enjoy working with young adults who are struggling on their path, whether from depression, trauma, loneliness, or simply the weight of life. I specialize in helping those who are highly self-critical or perfectionistic find freedom from their harsh inner voices.

I am passionate about providing support based in Health at Every Size and anti-diet approaches to folks experiencing body image-related anxiety or insecurity. I am an LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming counselor and love working with individuals who are exploring their identity and getting to know their authentic selves.

I work with individuals from a mindfulness and self-compassion based framework. This means I can help you develop a kinder, more understanding and respectful relationship with yourself. You spend your entire life with yourself - you deserve to enjoy the company! One of the hardest things to do in our society is love ourselves, but I truly believe we can get there together.

Reaching out to start counseling is not easy - I am happy to have an initial phone conversation with you to hear about what you're going through and connect. I look forward to hearing from you!
