Together, we work to break the cycle of hopelessness, cultivating self-compassion and reconnecting with joy and purpose.
Body Image and Self-Esteem
I help individuals who struggle with body image and self-esteem to reconnect with their true selves and heal from negative self-judgments.

My goal is to support clients in embracing their worth beyond external appearances.
Eating Disorders
At Mending Paths Therapy, I offer compassionate support to individuals navigating eating disorders by exploring the complex relationship between food, body image, and emotional well-being. My trauma-informed, evidence-based approach helps clients heal from past wounds, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a balanced relationship with food and their bodies. Together, we work toward restoring self-trust and emotional balance.
Attachment Trauma
Healing from attachment trauma requires a deep and compassionate understanding of how early relational wounds shape present-day struggles. I use a relational approach to explore how these past experiences influence current relationships and emotional well-being. Through trauma-informed and Emotion-Focused therapy, we work together to rebuild secure attachments and promote healthier emotional connections.

Racial Identity + Trauma
At Mending Paths Therapy, I offer a safe and compassionate space to explore the complexities of racial identity and the impact of racial trauma.

My goal is to support clients in healing these wounds, processing microaggressions, fostering empowerment, and navigating their identities with resilience and pride.
Systemic Oppression
I am committed to helping individuals understand the profound effects of systemic oppression on mental health and personal identity. Through a relational, trauma-informed lens, we explore how societal forces such as racism, sexism, classism, fatphobia, etc. shape your experiences, sense of worth, and relationships. Together, we work to process the impact of this messaging and cultivate a sense of agency, healing, and empowerment.

Codependency and People Pleasing
At Mending Paths Therapy, I support individuals in breaking free from patterns of codependency and people-pleasing that can hinder personal growth and self-worth. Through trauma-informed and person-centered approaches, we explore the roots of these behaviors, often linked to early relational dynamics, and work to build healthier boundaries and self-empowerment. My goal is to help you cultivate authentic relationships and a strong sense of self that is not defined by others’ needs.
