Sending you the best on your therapy journey! I would be a good fit for you if you're wanting help coping with depressive or anxious symptoms, wanting to improve family and friend relationships, are looking to improve your relationship with your body, weight, or food, or are hoping to overcome people-pleasing tendencies. I have specialized experience helping with eating disorders & body image, and am happy to help you find increased body respect and neutrality. While I am grateful for the accessibility to therapy that telehealth provides, I strongly prefer to meet with clients in person, as I find it to be exceptionally effective.

My therapeutic approach draws upon Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), IFS (Parts Work), and person-centered care. For work around food, body, or weight, I include ideas of Fat Liberation, Health At Every Size, body respect, and the All Foods Fit model. Otherwise, I like to show up to therapy with humor, curiosity, warmth, and non-judgement.

If you are interested in beginning therapy with myself please email or call, or take a look at the Riverbank Therapy website. Looking forward to connecting with you!

In my work I often utilize a blend of modalities such as DBT, person-centered care, IFS (Parts Work), & Liberation Lens. Every brain works differently, so I'm happy to work with your specific wants and needs to find the best path for your therapy. I love helping clients find relief from symptoms, life stressors, ineffective relationships, & unwanted/outdated messaging about bodies/weight/food.
