Experience
Mental Health Therapist
May 2025 — Present
Working with a therapist is a courageous and collaborative journey. My approach is client-driven and tailored to each individual client\'s goals and comfort level. Whether you\'re carrying burdens, feeling stuck or just seeking self-improvement, this being human can be a challenge sometimes and a heavy weight to carry alone. While I believe the client drives the train, I will be your guide as we work together to navigate areas of your life where you want to find relief, growth and joy. Building a trusting and comfortable space is the passion of my work as a therapist, and I am humbled by each therapy relationship.I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to guide clients through processing traumas and unburdening parts of themselves that have become stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking or behavior.Another specialty area of my work is with individuals with Eating Disorders, and I have facilitated healing across many levels of Eating Disorder care. I approach Eating Disorder treatment holistically by collaborating with Dietitians, Psychiatric providers and Primary Care providers as clients traverse their recovery paths.
