Eating Disorders
I specialize in helping individuals heal their relationship with food and body image. I provide support for those struggling with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Orthorexia, and Diabulimia. My work addresses the psychological and emotional factors underlying eating challenges while helping clients develop practical strategies for lasting change.
​

Chronic Illness
Do you have a chronic illness and struggle with the physical and emotional challenges it brings? I understand firsthand how chronic illness can cause health anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions. I provide therapy and practical strategies to help clients cope with conditions like Crohn’s disease, Type 1 Diabetes, Celiac disease, and IBS, supporting them in developing a more empowered and balanced approach to their health.
​

Anxiety Disorders
I offer counseling for anxiety disorders such as social anxiety, health anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorder. If you consider yourself an overthinker or tend to find yourself ruminating, I can help you develop healthy coping strategies to manage your anxiety and lead you toward meaningful life.
​

Perfectionism
Do you hold yourself to unrealistic standards and then beat yourself up if you don't live up to those expectations? Do you tend to think in the black and white (I'm either a success or failure)? I work with individuals to cultivate self-compassion and understand the underlying function of their perfectionism.
​

Trauma and PTSD
I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for individuals suffering from trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CPT is an evidence-based approach that treats PTSD. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore the traumatic experience and its lingering effects.

Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder is a disorder characterized by experiencing panic attacks which including symptoms such as difficulty breathing, trembling, heart racing, chest tightness, and a feeling of impending doom. I use a variety of evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help reduce and manage panic attack symptoms and the fear of experiencing them.
