It's important for you to feel comfortable with who you choose to work with. Here's some more in-depth information about my experience to help you in making your decisions around care.
Qualifications are important but the relationship is really the essential ingredient in healing.
My Story
I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen—not judged, not rushed, and not expected to have everything figured out.
Whether you're struggling with your relationship with food, adjusting to the overwhelming changes of becoming a parent, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin moving toward healing.
My approach is genuine, collaborative, and direct. I believe that if I'm asking you to show up vulnerably, I need to do the same. You'll find me to be authentic, compassionate, and honest while always maintaining the boundaries that create safety and trust. Therapy isn't about someone telling you how to live your life—it's about working together to better understand your experiences, uncover your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
For more than 15 years, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families navigating eating disorders, maternal mental health concerns, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I've worked in private practice, higher levels of care, and treatment centers, helping people at every stage of their recovery journey. I have also spent much of my career guiding individuals and families through the often overwhelming process of accessing specialized treatment, giving me a deep understanding of the challenges people face both inside and outside the therapy room.
Working with eating disorders has shaped the way I see healing. I believe an eating disorder is rarely just about food or body image. More often, it represents an attempt to manage overwhelming emotions, cope with painful experiences, or regain a sense of control during difficult seasons of life. Together, we'll look beyond the symptoms to better understand what's underneath, creating space for self-compassion while building healthier ways to cope and reconnect with yourself.
I am equally passionate about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the many emotional transitions that come with motherhood. Becoming a parent can bring immense joy, but it can also bring anxiety, grief, identity shifts, relationship changes, and feelings of isolation. Whether you're navigating postpartum anxiety or depression, struggling with infertility or pregnancy loss, adjusting to life with a new baby, or simply trying to find yourself again, you don't have to carry it alone. My goal is to provide a space where you can speak honestly about your experience without fear of judgment.
No matter what brings you to therapy, I believe healing doesn't come from striving for perfection. It comes from understanding yourself with curiosity, learning to respond to your emotions with compassion instead of criticism, and building a life that aligns with your values rather than your fears.
A Little About Me
Outside of the therapy office, my favorite role is being a mom to three amazing kids—twins and their big brother. Like many of the women I work with, I know firsthand that balancing work, relationships, parenting, and caring for yourself can feel both beautiful and incredibly messy.
You'll usually find me cheering on the sidelines of a sports field, grabbing coffee with my husband, or spending time with friends and family. Motherhood has taught me that perfection isn't the goal—presence is. That lesson continues to shape not only my life but also the way I show up for my clients.
I know choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I'm honored whenever someone invites me into their story. My hope is that our work together helps you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your ability to navigate life's challenges, and empowered to move toward a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.
