Life can be hard sometimes, but some times are harder than others. After so many years of navigating a cultural climate of stress, division and injustice, it's no wonder most of us feel like we are walking around in a cloud of existential angst. While everyone responds to stressors differently, there is one thing we all have in common; we all have the need to feel seen, heard and understood.
I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders & anxiety disorders and provide teletherapy from the safety and comfort of your own home. I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist & Approved Supervisor (CEDS-S) and a Unified Protocol (UP) certified therapist & trainer. Visit www.unifiedprotocol.com for more info on how the UP can help you
Therapy is hard work, but I know you can do hard things! My job is to help you get to the place that you believe you can do hard things too. I do this by walking alongside you with compassion, patience, a little bit of humor, and a lot of curiosity and vulnerability. Please email me to schedule a free 15-minute phone or video consultation.
