Healing from an eating disorder is possible. Healing from trauma, abuse, discrimination, and chronic stress is possible. Depression can be cleared; anxiety can be managed; panic can be eased; overwhelm can be processed. You can grow from where you are right now, and so can your family, your child(ren), and your partner(s). Therapy is not a cure, but a private and ethical space that allows for the needed health, repair, and exploration. My goal as a therapist is to be collaborative, honest, and intuitive, so we can figure out together what needs to shift for you (and your loved ones) to change and grow.
My specialties include disordered eating, body image, childhood trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I have both a Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Masters in Social Work from Syracuse University. I am working on a PhD in Human Development and Family Science (with a focus in Couple & Family Therapy) at The Ohio State University.
My goal is for my clients to truly feel that we are a good fit for each other. I have a personality, a therapeutic style, and my own perspective, but I am just one person. I will always advocate for you to get the care you need, and if it is not me, my goal is to help you find it. Life is too short to spend our time fitting triangles into squares.

My goal is for us to go beyond coping skills, lists of symptoms, and diagnosis so we can distinguish and address what is going on underneath that is causing these issues. I want my clients to heal from pain and illness, not cope with it. However, there are times where coping skills, assessment tools, and diagnosis are important, and I am skilled and ready to provide them.
