During life’s difficult moments, we tend to ask ourselves ‘why.’ Why did this happen? Why am I feeling this way? Why am I not _____ enough? You are not your worries. Life does not have to be dominated by consistent anxiety, fear, and painful thoughts. Together we can work to help you live a more fulfilling life. I am a firm believer that we are always learning, growing, and evolving. Through the exploration of your values and life experiences you can gain insight into who you are and answer some of the “whys” you may ask yourself. 

I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in Washington, DC and received my Master’s degree and Education Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Florida State University. I have two years of experience working with those who have eating disorders, negative body image, trauma, and disordered eating and am under the supervision of Kiran Denney, LPC. I use a Health at Every Size and anti-diet approach to eating disorder treatment.

I intentionally adjust my therapeutic style to your individual needs with a consistency of acceptance, validation, and nonjudgement. We will work together to help you live the life you want to live and to help you better understand yourself. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want to see if we are a good fit. It is never too late to ask for help.
