I am AF-EMDR trained and have a breadth of experience treating Eating Disorders, Substance Use Disorders and Mood Disorders.
Often times, current circumstances bring us into therapy- perhaps we feel anxious, unfulfilled, disconnected, or trapped. Maybe we notice a pattern we can't seem to break. In my experience, these pain points tend to reflect a much deeper wound that, when tended to, can yield profound relief and empowerment in the here and now. People tend to take risks when they feel safe enough to do so, so my goal is two-fold: to build resources and skills that create a foundation of safety and to inspire clients to take the risks necessary to grow and heal.

My passion lies in helping women heal from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, body image issues and trauma.
In the pursuit of healing and recovery, I believe it is important to help clients become more present in their lives and in their struggles. With increased mindfulness comes the ability to control one's experience. I tailor therapy depending on individual needs, but tend to pull from DBT (for skills building) as well as psychodynamic-based approaches.

I am passionate about helping teens and adults tackle disordered eating and many of the other issues that go hand-in-hand like depression, anxiety, perfectionism, phase of life transitions, and trauma.
I know how stressful it can feel to keep up with school, friends, parents’ expectations, and your own high standards. Maybe you’re trying to look like you have it together but constantly feel behind. Maybe you’re tired of second-guessing yourself or feeling guilty for not doing enough. The pressure to stay motivated, manage big emotions, and still feel “normal” can be exhausting. You deserve to feel grounded and comfortable being yourself and not like you're just holding it all together. If you’re struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, body image, friendships, or major life changes, you’re not alone.

I enjoy supporting clients who are going through or seeking help with a variety of concerns such as addiction and recovery, anxiety, depression, life transitions, dating, navigating family relationships, and personality disorders, with a specialization in eating disorders, parenting, and child mental health.
In therapy we learn which behaviors and attitudes no longer serve us or the future we want to create. I believe that through deep exploration and sharing our stories, the imprint of our past can become the steppingstone of the future we want to create.

How are you faring through the Coronavirus pandemic? Are you too busy taking care of others to know the answer to that question and perhaps feeling overwhelmed? Or are your normal personal challenges exacerbated now? More anxious, or depressed, struggling more with food and body issues... I am here to help now and when the crisis subsides and we are able to return to normal life. I offer telehealth so we can speak from the comfort of your home and when the virus passes you would have the choice to continue that way or meet in person.

I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, depression, eating disorders, addiction, anxiety, loss, and life transitions.
I view psychotherapy as a framework for identifying, understanding, and working through problems that cause people to feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives. Ultimately, I consider the goal of psychotherapy as empowering others to reach aspired levels of purpose, productivity and fulfillment.

Most of my clients are millennials or Gen Z navigating anxiety, identity questions, trauma, disordered eating, burnout, or trying to unlearn the weird messages they’ve picked up over time.
My approach is direct, curious, and rooted in actual respect—not patronizing. I believe you’re the expert on your own life. I’m here to help you untangle what’s not working, make room for what is, and figure out what comes next—without betraying who you actually are. You don’t need to have it all figured out to get started, and you don’t have to go it alone.

At times, experiencing painful feelings, having difficulty managing stressful or unexpected situations, life transitions, and/or dealing with relationship conflicts, whether romantic or not, may hinder us from feeling happy, capable, and empowered to live our lives to the fullest. During these times, the support and the guidance of a caring professional can make a difference.
