Eating disorders and exercise disorders have devastating effects on the individual suffering and those close to them. As a registered psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of eating and exercise disorders and co-occurring issues, I work collaboratively with clients to meet their own individual therapeutic needs as they bravely journey into full recovery. While I specialize in treating eating disorders, approximately half of my clients come to me with different concerns. I have extensive experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues.

I work best with people who find themselves upset and confused regarding how their lives got to be the way they are. I help people to better understand themselves and their pasts so they can make more informed decisions about how they will change their futures. I help people to feel better about themselves, and find that my clients use therapy to resolve deep and long standing problems that have bothered them for years. People often come to me with problems with addictions, moods, anxiety, or difficulties in their relationships. Mes services psychologiques sont aussi disponible en français.

Life often presents us with different challenges and sometimes we need some support in working through them. Psychotherapy can be helpful when you are facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, self-esteem, or even just wanting to get to know yourself better. I believe that it is important to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can work together on addressing your needs and goals.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do / With your one wild and precious life?" -Mary Oliver, "The Summer Day" ----- There are so many things that I love about these lines by the poet Mary Oliver. She reminds us that we have choices about what we want to do with the unique and precious life that each of us has. That word 'wild' can encompass beauty and pain, joy and struggle. But even when life is at its most difficult, and even when we feel least in control, we can make meaningful change.

I work with clients who have a history of childhood trauma, relationship and attachment challenges, and/or low self-confidence, which oftentimes results in cycles of anxiety and depression. Their challenges can look like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and feeling like they're "never enough." Additionally, they may be going through a major life transition, have stress and burnout, sleep problems/insomnia, ADHD, and difficulties with emotion regulation. Many of my clients identify as BIPOC and appreciate that they can speak to someone who "gets" their experiences.
