I am passionate about providing education and empowerment around the mind-body connection. We learn to understand how the mind and body may be in survival mode and how a learned response may no longer serve us. Holding space allows for the body and mind to create space from imprinted thoughts & emotions in order to see choice in self-talk, belief systems, behaviors, and gain acceptance of ourselves. We learn how to rewire/rewrite our narrative through self-compassion.

Are you a teenage or adult woman struggling with anxiety, panic, the impact of trauma or chronic stress and feel like traditional talk therapy hasn't worked for you? Do you need practical tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions and take back control of your life? I get it, I've been there too. Some of the symptoms my clients (and myself) have experienced are excessive worry, difficulty calming down or finding safety in their body, difficulty regulating their emotions, difficulty identifying and expressing needs / boundaries and burnout from people pleasing / care-taking.

I also pride myself in being a strong advocate for those who need support in finding their voice.

What would it be like if you don't have to be good? What if you don't have to guard yourself with a thousand apologies for presumed infractions? I see you, tender heart. You're anxious... and exhausted. And can we talk about the off-brand crankiness you feel so guilty about? I know you wish you weren’t, but you’re sensitive. Your superpower? You can tell with stunning accuracy what anyone around you is feeling and make sense of why they do what they do. This makes you great in a crisis and a deft caregiver. But you can’t turn it off, so you struggle to know what your own needs and boundaries are, let alone meet them.

As an experienced psychologist, I have worked with with clients having concerns ranging from difficulties in daily living to more serious mental health problems such as anxiety, mood disorders and depression. I also have broad experience with substance abuse and PTSD. I see individuals, couples and families and have worked extensively with military veterans. Goals of treatment include developing more effective coping strategies, relief of guilt and fear, self-acceptance, identifying personal resources, and restoring connections to others.

People often go into therapy feeling a great deal of shame, guilt and with secrets. It's important to me that the therapeutic environment I provide allow people to feel they are part of a non-judgmental, safe and warm environment. The goal of therapy is to help clients make behavioral changes and increase insight into the cause of those behaviors and the purpose they serve. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, emotional/stress eating, body image, depression and anxiety. In addition, I run groups for individuals struggling with binge eating disorder.
