Are you impulsive around food, sex, or shopping? Do you keep eating when you're not hungry? Or say 'yes' when you really mean 'no'? There is relief. I can help by working with you to explore your current situation and past experiences so you can have greater choice and freedom in your life. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families of diverse backgrounds combining a variety of modalities with a holistic slant.

My specialties include intimacy issues like isolation, and codependency; compulsions like overeating, dieting, sex, love; interracial and interfaith relationships; and body image distortions and body hatred. My style is relational, warm, and direct. I focus on what's happening in the room, as well as on your past experiences.

I've seen incredible positive changes in my clients. I hold office hours on Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you.
