I believe therapy is a gift to oneself of a safe space to explore, reflect, understand, and identify what is important. It is necessary to challenge my clients to confront unfinished business within themselves in order to live freely in the present moment. Recognizably, I am not the expert in the therapeutic space—you are. I value collaboratively and energetically working towards a sense of healing and understanding.

Therapy, for me, is not only about easing pain—it is about awakening to the life that waits on the other side of it. I work with adults who feel a pull toward personal growth, deeper self-understanding, and spirituality. My approach is psychodynamic, Jungian, and developmental, creating a reflective space where you can slow down, listen inward, and make sense of the story your life has been telling. I am especially drawn to working with therapists who need a place to process their own countertransference, and with artists and creative individuals who wrestle with the emotional and existential weight of creativity.

Now accepting new clients. I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Many of my clients are adjusting to a new phase of life and find themselves overwhelmed by self-doubt or a difficult relationship with food and their body. Others long for deeper connection but hold back, afraid that showing their authentic self means risking rejection. If this sounds familiar, please know your experiences matter, and a more meaningful, peaceful life is possible. We all need support at different points in our lives; reaching out for it is a sign of strength, not weakness.

I am particularly interested in the relationship between traumatic stress and eating pathology as well as trauma and sleep.
I spent many years in a leadership position at a national center that provided comprehensive eating disorder treatment. I believe in providing evidence based treatments, increasing treatment intensity as needed, and working with a patient to maximize treatment gains by helping them to generalize what we do in treatment to their "real life" environment.

I see therapy as an opportunity for fostering personal growth and achieving emotional maturity. We all face challenges and struggles at various points in our lives. Failure to overcome these challenges can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression and may impact one's relationship with family and friends. While we can't change the past, therapy can help uncover long-standing patterns and behaviors that can get in the way of fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. I will help you understand the problems you are facing and find meaning and solutions that work best for you.

I have undergone extensive training in assisting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma, including those affected by vicarious trauma. Additionally, a key aspect of my therapeutic practice involves working with individuals facing interpersonal challenges, particularly those grappling with inappropriate guilt and difficulties in emotional vulnerability. I believe that effective therapy extends beyond mere symptom management, necessitating an exploration of the foundational factors that may have contributed to current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
