Do you often feel overwhelmed or that you "can't handle it"? Do you struggle to communicate with those closest to you? Maybe you spend a lot of time thinking about the past or worrying about the future, or maybe you worry that you'll never feel good about yourself.

At Eating and Behavioral Health Associates, I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, PTSD and co-occurring emotional concerns. I help people to find their inner strength through connection of their mind and body, and use evidence-based treatments such as CBT-E and Cognitive Processing Therapy to help individuals become free of the burdens from eating disorders and trauma.

Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change. We don't often have a choice about challenging circumstances but we do get to choose how we respond and whether or not we grow stronger from the experience! Using a blend of traditional "talk therapy" and alternative therapies (such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative expression) we collaborate for my clients' restoration of their natural wellness in mind, body, and spirit. I can help you become your best self!

You are already whole. For a variety of reasons, we humans can get stuck in problematic patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Together, we can work with these stuck places and reconnect to your natural wholeness. We will start wherever you are. Our work often includes both gaining insight into the causes and conditions of your current challenge, as well as cultivating practices that are aligned with your deepest heart felt desires.

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up. You might wish you could improve your sex life in your romantic relationships, or change your family and relationships interactions. Maybe you want to live a calm and peaceful life and overcome past traumas that don't let you move on. Replaying your history over and over, wishing things were different. It might be the way you think and treat yourself that brought you here. Maybe you want to discover more about yourself and never knew how.

I have worked with children and adults in several different roles for almost 20 years. In my career as a counselor, I have specialized in adolescents, couples, adults, and the treatment of trauma, addiction and anxiety, to name a few. I treat all conditions, and I have a passion for helping others. My approach to therapy is strongly grounded in identifying the pathway for treatment by meeting clients where they are at and using their strengths to help them reach their goals.

I will support you in attracting and creaing the life you want. I offer approaches that guide you from trying to figure out life to learning to live intentionally and passionately in the moment.

I am a seasoned professional with corporate and military experience, which has helped me lay the foundation of my counseling approach. These experiences have taught me to balance gentleness with discipline and structure with flexibility, while working individually with each person to determine how to best address their needs.
