I have been practicing social work and working as a psychotherapist since 2014. I support individuals who are recovering from eating disorders, body image issues, substance use, trauma, self harm, Borderline Personality Disorder, prenatal and postpartum issues. I work with adults and teens. My style has been described as nurturing, empathic, and empowering. I am direct and authentic; I will never blame you for your suffering. My approach is primarily psychodynamic but combines aspects of feminist and social justice perspectives, mindful self-compassion, dialectical behavior therapy, Seeking Safety, and mindfulness. I use HAES.
Please call me for a free telephone assessment. My work involves authentic client connection, honesty, and creative solutions to help you pursue autonomy and clarity. In my practice, I treat Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), and Atypical and mixed-diagnosis eating disorders.
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you in your personal transformation. I will help you identify what is deeply meaningful and important in your life and can share concrete skills you need to get your needs met directly. I will support you in developing powerful, research supported, inner resources, (compassion, radical self-acceptance, confidence).
