The decision to seek help can be an incredibly daunting task. However, the need for help is valid for all of us and it is something I believe should be better normalized. Whether we are feeling stuck, experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling in life transitions, or relationship issues, sometimes a comforting form of support can help us weather those challenges so that we do not feel so alone. Having this kind of support in facing such challenges can be deeply reassuring. As a therapist, I hope to accompany you on your journey and help you overcome any such challenges.

British in origin, my passion is people, it always has been. I recognize entering into therapy can make us feel vulnerable, but within that vulnerability emerges great strength to pursue that need for change within us. My work is predominantly trauma-focused and emphasizes on gaining personal insight into how certain life events can affect our behavioral, emotional and physical well-being.

In our work together, my essential goal is that you feel heard, respected, and understood. I find that one of the most important predictors of effective therapy starts with the relationship between client and therapist. I consider my role as your therapist an honor. I aim to create a comfortable, inviting, and safe space for you to share, and for us to work collectively. I feel your voice is just as, if not more, valuable than mine. With over 13 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I am confident that working collaboratively, you will find our time together beneficial.

We all know that the majority of dieters inevitably gain back all the weight they’ve lost and more. Emotional eating is a coping mechanism, a survival tactic. This self soothing technique is learned early in life to numb uncomfortable feelings. Dieting focuses on the external rather than the internal cues which fuel overeating. The repetitive cycle of gaining and losing weight leads to feelings of hopelessness, shame, failure, and desperation. In order to shift dysfunctional eating patterns, one must identify underlying experiences and belief systems that perpetuate emotional eating.

"I couldn't heal because I couldn't admit that I was hurt." This is a statement that I personally relate to, and find that it speaks to many first time clients. If you are someone (like me) who values strength, resiliency and a positive attitude you too might be finding it hard to admit the emotional pain of past traumas and their impact upon your daily functioning and relationships.

Therapy works best when clients are ready and open to change and personal growth.
