SERVICES
Depression Counseling
Depression can feel like a disconnection from your body. It can make everyday life feel heavy and colorless. We understand depression not as a flaw, but as a sign that something deeper within you needs care, rest, or reconnection.Together, we explore the emotional, physical, and relational layers of your experience. Using a collaborative approach, we’ll identify the patterns of thought and behavior that keep you feeling stuck. Using practical tools, we’ll work to build practical tools to manage low mood, regain motivation and reconnect with what brings meaning and joy to your life.
Healing from depression is possible, and it starts with having the right support and space to begin again.
Anxiety Counseling
When anxiety takes over, it can feel like your mind won’t stop racing, constantly analyzing, predicting, and replaying what could go wrong. Together, we’ll work to quiet that mental noise and help you regain a sense of calm and control.
Our approach blends evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and somatic awareness to help you reconnect with your sense of safety and presence. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns and pressures that keep your nervous system on alert, while gently restoring calm, balance, and trust in your body’s natural rhythm.
Through this process, you’ll learn to move through anxiety with greater understanding and self-compassion, not by silencing your thoughts, but by listening to what they’re trying to tell you. You’ll develop tools to reduce worry, ease tension, and approach life with greater confidence and clarity.
Grief Counseling
Honoring loss, nurturing healing, and finding meaning again
Grief changes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. It can bring deep sadness, confusion, or a sense of disconnection from life as it once was. Grief counseling offers a tender space to be with what has been lost, whether through death, change, or the quiet endings that life sometimes brings, it touches every part of us. Rather than rushing toward closure, our work together focuses on creating space for your grief to be seen, felt, and honored.
We’ll help you explore how to make room for painful emotions while staying connected to your values and the things that matter most. Together, we’ll focus on finding a way forward that honors your loss and supports healing at your own pace.
Life Transitions & Stress Management
Finding balance and meaning through change
Change, whether in your personal life or career can bring about uncertainty, self-doubt, and overwhelming feelings. Even positive transitions or professional shifts can leave you feeling ungrounded or burnt out. In therapy, we’ll work together to help you manage stress, navigate change, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Using evidence-based stress management tools, we’ll identify your strengths, build practical coping strategies, and create balance between work and personal life. Together, we’ll focus on acceptance, resilience, and rediscovering what brings you purpose and peace during times of transition.
Eating Disorders
Healing from an eating disorder isn’t just about food, it’s about rebuilding trust with your body and learning new ways to connect with yourself and others. My approach integrates Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), Health at Every Size® (HAES) principles, and a compassionate, non-diet perspective to help you find freedom from the cycles of control, shame, and self-criticism.
Together, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and biological factors that keep disordered eating patterns in place, while building skills for openness, flexibility, and authentic connection. You don’t have to fight your body to feel at peace. Here, recovery is a journey toward wholeness, where food becomes nourishment, your body becomes home, and you feel free to live fully again.
Recovery is possible at every size, and healing begins when you feel seen, supported, and accepted, exactly as you are.
Nutrition-informed Counseling
Supporting emotional wellness through mind-body nourishment
Our relationship with food and our bodies is deeply connected to our emotions, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Nutrition-informed counseling is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the psychological and behavioral aspects of eating, rather than prescribing diets, meal plans, or specific nutrition interventions. This service is ideal for adults who want support in managing emotional eating, stress-related eating, body image concerns, general disordered eating patterns, and for those who want to cultivate a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food and their body. We explore thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and patterns around eating, using evidence-based strategies. You’ll learn skills to identify triggers, reduce stress-related or emotional eating, and build self-compassion, while developing sustainable coping strategies that support mental health and overall life balance.
Mindfulness-Based Counseling
Cultivating presence, awareness, and self-compassion
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by stress, anxious thoughts, or emotional turbulence. Through guided mindfulness practices, meditation exercises, and reflective techniques, you’ll learn to observe thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment or reactivity. This awareness allows you to respond to difficult situations more skillfully, reduce automatic patterns of stress and worry, and develop a deeper connection with yourself and your values. By learning to observe thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations without judgment, you can respond to challenges with greater clarity, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation. This approach is integrated with evidence-based strategies such as CBT and ACT, helping you build resilience, self-compassion, and a more grounded, balanced life.
