I specialize in supporting individuals with a wide range of challenges, including eating disorders, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I understand these disorders as intricate manifestations of disconnection – from one's mind, body, self, and community. In my extensive experience across various levels of care, including inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings, I've journeyed alongside individuals, embracing each with compassion and nurturing support. I’ve worked diligently with individuals of all ages and genders. My approach is rooted in acknowledging the diverse array of experiences and backgrounds, prioritizing cultural competency to ensure effective and inclusive care. With a heart-centered approach, I strive to create a safe space where every individual feels heard, seen, and valued. Through fostering reconnection and understanding, my mission is to guide each person towards a path of healing, empowerment and holistic well-being.
