People who work with me are often questioning whether their eating/body image issues are "bad" enough to get help. They struggle with wanting to know the right thing to do with food and exercise. They often feel guilty for caring so much about their weight and what they eat, but they don't know how to change their thoughts and behaviors. They are intrigued by the idea of eating intuitively, but are terrified of exploring it. They just want to feel comfortable in their own skin for once, and to not have to worry about food or weight.

The biggest takeaway from working together will be that you feel supported, seen and excited to grow. Your sessions will be a joyful experience and a safe space where we collaborate to determine and achieve your goals. I want to help you find your unique path to happiness and a life full of color. Sessions are supportive while also challenging you to truly create change and at times be open to getting uncomfortable so you can grow and live the life you want.

I enjoy working with supervisees as a thought partner, coach, supervisor, and mentor. I believe growth happens when we are rooted in our integrity, engaging curiosity, leaning into discomfort, and embracing humor. I have extensive experience supervising clinical and macro social workers, advocates, counselors and clinicians in community health, non-profit, and private practice settings.

We often place pressure on ourselves to be okay, to power through, and to be strong. Yet we all encounter times when we need extra care and support. You may be navigating a major life transition, experiencing anxiety or overwhelm, or feeling stuck and unsure how to make a change. Asking for help is a sign of remarkable strength. You deserve support, and to feel the power and relief of being seen and accepted just as you are. Therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself, deepen your self-awareness and understanding, and uncover ways to move forward.

I specialize in eating disorders, dissociative disorders & complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Our bodies hold deep wisdom but for many, as a result of trauma, emotional and physical distress, and systemic oppression, to name a few, the connection to this wisdom has been disrupted and damaged. I will meet you where ever you are at in the process as we learn to listen to what your body and story hold.

Like many others, we seek help when faced with a problem that impacts our relationships, social or workplace setting. By understanding past experiences, people are better able to place their present behavior within a perspective that allows for change.

Behind so much of how we think, what we long for, and how we relate to ourselves and others lies unacknowledged shame, trauma, and the strategies we developed, sometimes very early on, to cope with and hide these realities from ourselves. These make up the “muscle memory” of our emotional worlds, which cannot always be easily recalled, but determine our lives nonetheless. Therapy aims to cultivate awareness of what lies underneath in disconnected, dissociated ways, and provides a space to move through the pain, accept, and integrate the past so that it no longer repeats itself in our lives.

Although I help people working through a wide range of issues and symptoms, I specialize in helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and life transitions. I love helping clients detach from the unnecessary barriers placed by oppressive social structures, society, family, or themselves so they can start living the life they've always wanted. It's important to me that my clients feel heard, validated, challenged, and that our therapeutic relationship is collaborative. I value providing for my clients an experience that feels tailored to their needs.

You’re maxed out. People around you think you have it all together, while internally you’re imploding. You feel like you’re never doing enough and you could better control everything if you just tried harder. Maybe you struggle with a disordered relationship with your body or food.

Together we will create an environment that feels safe for you to give voice to your current struggles.

Is there something holding you back from the life you want? Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed by changes you would like to make but find yourself repeating old patterns? Working with the body and the mind, clients are supported in exploring and bringing awareness to habits that are no longer working, accessing their natural curiosity, loosening stuck, scary, or confusing places, and reconnecting to their creativity, resilience, and well being.

I enjoy supporting those in their journey of healing, reflection, and growth throughout life. I work with those who have a desire to move towards a place of thriving, while addressing topics that may have you feeling stuck or alone. Perhaps you are someone who never feels like you are good enough, has difficulty setting boundaries, is experiencing burnout, anxiety, or frustration. There might be dynamics from childhood that you’re curious about and how they may be impacting you today. In safely exploring some of these areas, together we can work in moving you towards a more fulfilled life.

I practice Non-dual therapy, also known as non-dual counseling or non-dual psychology, which is a form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals to recognize and understand the true nature of their being and to cultivate a sense of inner peace and well-being. Non-dual therapy typically involves exploring and questioning the individual's thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions about other people and situations and helping them to develop a deeper understanding of their true nature and the interconnectedness of all things. This can involve meditation, mindfulness, self-inquiry, and more traditional forms of psychotherapy.

Everyone has stress and problems, but when those two things are causing you to feel emotionally drained, with little energy, and unable to rest, it’s time for support. Change doesn’t happen instantly, but if you are here, you are willing to begin.

The most important stories inside of us always find a way to speak. Sometimes they speak loudly, and sometimes just a whisper; in the thoughts we have, the way we feel, the way our bodies feel. Your anxiety, your memories, your relationship struggles, your deep identity questions. These stories live in our bodies, often uncomfortably or distressingly. In therapy, we can attend to these stories with compassion, and learn to understand how every part of you belongs to your whole self.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
