On the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're engaged in a constant struggle for control. Your anxiety, OCD, and/or eating disorder has taken over your life. You find yourself in a constant loop of feeling worried, nervous, stressed and at times not good enough, thin enough, or smart enough. You’re stuck and unable to find the relief that you crave, so you try temporary fixes. Sometimes you disconnect and avoid people and your responsibilities, sometimes you binge, sometimes you purge, and sometimes you try to use anything that will distract your mind. You find, however, that your mind just wont turn off.
You desperately want to know what it would feel like to not be consumed with the thoughts that cause you to constantly worry about issues like food, your body, or all of the what if's in your life. You’re tired of being consumed by fear. Imagine you could learn the techniques to heal and be free from panic attacks, OCD, binging, restricting and purging food.
As a specialist in Eating disorders and OCD, with lived experience in both, I can help you find relief and learn the techniques you're searching for utilizing tools like ERP, and ICBT. In addition to my specialties, I have extensive experience treating trichotillomania, dermatillomania, agoraphobia, PTSD, Autism/neurodiversity, and gender identity/dysphoria.

I utilize ERP, ACT and I-CBT during treatment for OCD. For disordered eating habits, I utilize different CBT approaches such as CBT-E, or CBT-AR, along with FBT, and ERP for disordered eating treatment. For disorders such as trichotillomania, and Skin picking I utilize CBT along with Habit Reversal Training (HRT), ACT, and the (ComB) model. I often also incorporate IFS (parts work therapy).
