English
| español Hello and welcome! I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times. Challenges that arise related to adolescence, relationships, employment, parenthood, and partnership can contribute to feelings of anxiety, isolation, shame, self-doubt, and depression. As painful as these feelings and symptoms are, they present us with unique and powerful opportunities to grow beyond our suffering. My own life experience and work in therapy is what fuels my passion to help others grow and heal. I will meet you wherever you are at and journey with you to meet the goals you set for yourself.
I specialize in treating teens, adults, parents, couples, and groups. My style is warm, caring, genuine, and direct. Clients describe me as non-judgmental, accepting, and wise. Together we will identify how your fears and insecurities are informative of your underlying needs and values. This will be the compass to guide you on your path of transformation.
I have extensive experience in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Regardless of your past, I believe our identity extends well beyond our current problems and each of us has the freedom to create and live our lives in ways that align with our morals and values.

Groups
Attuned Eating
Attuned Eating is a brand new structured method designed to transform your relationship with food, your weight, and your body. The Attuned Eating Method is not a diet and requires no measuring, portion control, calorie counting or restriction. You may not believe it yet, but THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. This method is a surrender to the way we are naturally programmed to eat, and it provides the foundation to build healthy intuition with your body. Attuned Eating is for you if you cannot take another minute of the angst resulting from the restriction/binge cycle that dieting perpetuates.
