Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary.

My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with all forms of eating disorders and disordered eating.

Clients often reach out to me because they know that I practice from a Health at Every Size(R) framework and they want treatment that is not stigmatizing about weight. Adolescent clients and their families often seek me out because of my expertise doing Family Based Treatment.

Currently booking for MARCH. I am honored and privileged to join my clients on their journeys.

Sometimes all it takes is talking to someone outside of your circle. If you are an empathetic person who struggles with anxiety, you tend to avoid sharing your concerns with people you care about. You don’t want to feel like a burden and are looking for help from someone who gets it. In my years of experience as a therapist, I have found that much can be healed through a therapeutic relationship and using evidenced-based treatment approaches. Common issues explored in therapy include, understanding your unique strengths, learning steps to calm and soothe your body, improving your relationships and learning how to care for yourself.

"It is the quality of our relationships that will determine the quality of our lives." -Esther Perel. Why is it that our most important relationships can feel the most challenging and combative? Silly squabbles that lead to distance and instability can cause us to feel lonelier next to our partner than when we’re alone. We feel caught in a loop of endless drama unable to escape the gridlock.

I particularly enjoy working with women aged 20-40 who are working to overcome anxiety and depression or are coping with relationship dynamics.

My ideal client will be seeking to learn new coping skills, communication strategies, or relationship skills.
