I specialize in helping people heal from developmental trauma, eating disorders, and anxiety.
Does it feel like managing your inner world takes a ton of energy and effort? This is a common struggle that clients bring to me. Many are self-reflective and curious, yet still wrestle with anxiety, body image challenges, or difficulty finding safety in their body or security in relationships. I often hear, “I know how I want to show up and feel, but I don’t know why it feels so hard to do so,” or notice that even with awareness, the same patterns keep showing up. Together we work on sustainable change: steadiness inside, deeper self-trust, greater ease in the face of challenge, and relationships that feel supportive and nourishing

While my focus is geared towards teenagers, I am also seeing clients with eating disorders, young adults working through relationship difficulties and family systems that need some extra attention.
Adolescents are forming their identities and beginning to individuate from their parents. Their brains are quite literally "pruning," or deciding which neuropathways to keep and which to let go of. This makes it an especially important time to support them and offer sustained attention to their ever-changing internal world.

I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety disorders, adult ADHD, and breakup/life-transition recovery.
You’re a capable adult whose struggles feel loud: anxiety that won’t switch off, patterns with food and body that steal joy, focus and follow-through challenges from ADHD, or the grief and confusion of a breakup or major life shift. You want steadier mood, a calmer relationship with food, clearer routines, and hope. I offer a kind, research-based space to understand what’s driving symptoms, build practical skills, and create a plan that fits your life—so you can feel more grounded, confident, and connected day to day.

I received my master’s degree in Integrative Behavioral Health from the University of Minnesota and have since specialized in treating eating disorders, body image distress, developmental trauma, anxiety, and depression.
My work is informed by weight inclusive and fat activist movements. I am theoretically grounded in feminist psychology, somatic, and mindfulness approaches. I believe we all have the intrinsic ability to heal and can learn to hear our own voice of wisdom amidst the internal chaos. Theory aside, I orient towards relationship and collaboration.

I work with people who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, and relationship issues.
My training in somatic therapy uses the body and deeper mind to uncover the unconscious beliefs and protective strategies that keep you looping. This allows us to get to the root of the problem, meet the needs that were missed, and create space for new possibilities. Clients often say this work feels more profound and long-lasting than talk therapy alone.

I work with anxiety, eating disorders, and relational trauma, including narcissistic abuse, infidelity, high-conflict divorce, and complex parenting challenges.
Things will get better—that’s what you keep telling yourself. But despite your efforts, the anxiety keeps looping, your mind won’t slow down, and self-criticism feels relentless. You may feel stuck in painful relationship patterns, worn down by ongoing stress, or disconnected from your body or sense of self. Something isn’t working anymore, yet the idea of change feels overwhelming, and it’s hard to know where to begin. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families facing these moments of strain and uncertainty.

I specialize in eating disorders, depression, anxiety, family and relational conflicts, and women's issues.
My primary specialty is eating disorders. I take an approach that considers the underlying factors that present themselves as various unhealthy relationships to food. I believe that an eating disorder transcends the realm of the purely physical and that its roots can be found in fear, anger, and developmental processes.

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
