“Life can be as painful as it is beautiful. It’s not always easy to be our true selves. I am here to support you in living life authentically and without shame - to be confident in the person you truly are. Together we will celebrate the positives and work through the challenges that life presents. I believe your personal goals can be achieved and your struggles can be overcome with support that meets your needs. We can move from a place of insecurity to a state of knowing who you are and how you want to be in this world. I will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment in which to discover yourself. I feel at home in the work that I do and genuinely look forward to empowering you in the life that you lead.” -- I am a licensed counselor specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and addiction. My journey to find the job I love is one less traditional. I hold undergraduate degrees in Global Business and German. I received a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling, and have been working in the field of Mental health since 2014. After having obtained training and clinical experience treating eating disorders and addiction at higher levels of care, my passion was solidified. I continue to love recovery work with co-occurring disorders and a variety of mental health issues for diverse populations in my private practice. In addition to providing support to my clients, my passion for eating disorder recovery has resulted in advocacy through a local non-profit, Columbia River Eating Disorder Network, hosting a consultation group for ED-informed providers in Vancouver, and providing education and consultation on the topic of eating disorders, co-occurring disorders, Intuitive Eating, and Health At Every Size.
