I work with adults and couples facing a wide-range of challenges, including self-worth, eating disorders, complex/acute trauma, anxiety, depression and life transitions.
We often find ourselves considering psychotherapy when the things we are doing no longer seem to be working in creating the life we want. And while it’s not uncommon to experience some anxiety, sadness, doubt, etc., (because sometimes life just is hard), when it starts to feel terribly overwhelming, you don’t have to suffer alone. Within these challenging moments, there can be meaningful potential for healing and personal growth. Psychotherapy is an excellent tool to help you understand yourself more deeply, repair your relationships (with yourself and others), and offer relief in the face of difficult emotional experiences.

I work primarily with clients who are struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and eating disorders such as Binge Eating Disorder (BED).
When my clients first come to me, their lives feel chaotic and out of control. No matter what they do, they can’t seem to break free from recurrent depression, major ups and downs in their mood, and significant difficulties in their relationships. All they want is to feel more peace within themselves and in the relationships that matter to them the most. They want to be able to live life on their terms, and yet, this keeps on eluding them, even though they might be really accomplished in other areas of their life, like work.

I specialize in eating disorders, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma-related issues.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step is often the hardest part. I believe that both the mind and body have an innate capacity to heal, but recovery can be challenging to navigate alone. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support healing and growth.

I specialize in brainspotting and somatic IFS for eating disorders & late Autism/ADHD.
Life is frustrating when you don’t know how to move forward. Do you struggle to break hurtful patterns in your life? Do you feel secretly stuck in some area of your life? Do you long to feel more inner peace, self-trust and freedom in your daily life? Feeling stuck in painful emotions or unhealthy patterns drains your energy. It is hard to feel at peace in yourself if you are always worried about doing, being or saying the “right thing” to fit in, make people happy or impress others. Maybe you live so much in your head it is hard to connect with your feelings and trust your body’s wisdom, leaving you in a state of detachment.
