I am a caring and compassionate therapist who is committed to helping people make needed changes in their lives. Sometimes change is not possible and we need the tools to adapt to those situations that are beyond our control. I have supported many clients in the therapeutic relationship to learn about themselves and to focus and build on the strengths that each person has. I have extensive experience with adolescents and children and i have always worked very closely with parents so that we can all work towards the same goals.

I provide individual treatment to children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing a wide range of challenges including anxiety and mood disorders.

Do you find yourself bingeing, obsessing about food and your body, no matter what you do? Did your drinking or drug use cause shame, regrets, or mood swings? Eating Disorder or Addiction can leave us feeling guilty, out of control and disconnected from ourselves. Are people in your life expressing concern or frustration? You may be fed up with your body and food rules, feeling disgusted or hopeless. You might not even remember a time it didn't feel this way. You feel ready for RELIEF. You are ready to have a life free anxiety, guilt and obsessions. Most of all, you're ready to have peace with yourself and all your relationships.

Sometimes all that stands in the way of your happiness and peace of mind is your own thoughts. It's remarkable how our thoughts work against us creating anxiety, depression, and an overall feeling of being trapped or stuck. The good news is that having the happiness you want and deserve is actually within your control. Whether it is getting rid of your fear, understanding why you are so sad, dreaming of a healthier relationship, or just trying to figure out what will actually make you happy, I am here to help you learn how to take control of your life.
