I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, Depression, relationship issues, women's issues, HAES (health at every size), motivation, self esteem, addiction, and PTSD. I am foundationally trained in DBT as well as CBT and have experience utilizing Solution-Focused Therapy, TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused CBT), REBT, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling existence and to take the first steps towards a change.
