I believe in and am continually inspired by the resilience of human beings. In working with clients, I strive to truly listen, to help people come to understand themselves better and to accept things as they are while setting and achieving reasonable goals. I utilize a variety of therapeutic interventions and techniques depending on the needs and personality of each client. Whether you are going through a difficult life transition, coping with anxiety or depression, or struggling in a relationship, let's work it out together so you can find health and balance in life.
My specialized training is in the areas of eating disorders, body image, trauma and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I was Clinical Director of Monte Nido Rivertowns, a residential ED program. My style is warm, compassionate and engaging. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, cultures, faith traditions, gender identities and sexual orientations.
I commend you on making the brave decision to seek out therapy, and invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation so we can see if I would be the right fit for you today.

The modalities I use are all evidence-based, which means you are getting treatment that is scientifically proven to work. CBT is the main approach I use with folks struggling with anxiety, depression and eating disorders. CPT is a research-backed 12-session therapy for PTSD. I have had great success in helping clients achieve full recovery using these treatments!
