I am Certified as a Family Based Therapy (FBT) Therapist by Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders, trained at Stanford University Eating Disorders Clinic under the supervision the developer of FBT.
Let’s face it, change happens, and it happens fast. Sometimes we aren't equipped to handle change. And it’s that that we are not up for the challenge, but that challenges emerge when a person attempts to make sense out of change using skills that worked in the past and are no longer meeting their current need. In my role, I take a warm, directive stance to not only challenge, but also empower individuals to reimagine their role as the expert on their life, by creating new alternative perspectives and establishing mastery of new tools and skillset to increase their quality of life.

And if you are a parent looking for support with your child or teen, you will get hands-on, collaborative care that strengthens your bond, improves their social-emotional health, and helps you both grow stronger together.
No matter what the setback, my team and I can help you thrive. When something terrible happens, our brain works to make meaning of it. And the meaning we make of events is often the pivotal piece in discovering our resiliency, or we risk remaining stuck in pain, self-blame, worry and rumination. Even in the midst of uncertainty, and/or when you are healing from trauma, we can change your mindset so it starts working for you instead of against you. You will better understand the habits, unconscious patterns and/or hurtful environmental barriers to your health so you can let go and move forward.

While it is common for one person to come for sessions it is my specialty to have couples, parent- child, siblings, parent- teenager and parents with aging parent sessions.
Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam.

Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.

I work with adolescent and adults, LGBTQIA2plus, Neurodiverse people.
We are born into story and expectations. Sometimes, being ourselves is not safe. Without nurturing relationships, we work hard to survive on our own. We may avoid belonging or over-focus on fitting in. Options feel limited, our choices are not our own. You may achieve the ‘right’ education, profession, presentation or partner, but does it feel right for you? Deciphering our feelings can unleash many questions, and overwhelm. The good news is, you do not have to face change alone. Trust is a practice we can write together. Our stories are ours for the telling–and loving.
