Undeniably, I think one of the biggest challenges each of us faces is how to create a life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic in a world that is hard and complicated. While I specialize in working with both men and
women
who are struggling with eating disorders, I also have experience working with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders, and with people who are just simply trying to find a better path both personally and professionally.

I help late 20s single
women
learn to love themselves and manifest their aligned relationship. I know how painful it can be when you deeply desire a romantic relationship but don't have it yet. There can be so much self-doubt, anxiety, and uncertainty. Maybe you keep ending up in the same noncommittal relationships. Maybe you keep ending up with the same kind of unavailable partners who can't generously give you the love and care that you truly deserve. If this is you, please know that there is a way forward. Dating with confidence and creating a healthy relationship is an inside job, so YOU hold the power to change.

I identify as a White, able-bodied, cisgender
woman
who strives to provide compassionate client-centered therapy that acknowledges the unique identity and experience of each individual.
I work with adolescents (14+ y/o) and adults who are seeking individual, family, and couples therapy. Many of the adolescents and adults I work with experience general and social anxiety, grief, depression, PTSD, and may engage in self-harming behaviors or have suicidal ideation. I provide parent/ caregiver coaching to parents who want to improve the quality of their relationship with their children and learn skills of effective conflict management and limit setting. The couples I work with want to learn skills to improve their communication, manage conflict effectively, and rebuild trust and intimacy within their relationship.

I don't believe in reinventing the wheel! My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you to find a match between your needs and the interventions that psychological and medical research tell us will best resolve those needs. Choosing the researched intervention for your specific problem will help you experience relief faster and treatment will cost less in terms of time and money. I am a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience and renown in using interventions such DBT, CBT and FBT (aka the Maudsley approach).

I am currently only seeing patients by video. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who want help with disordered eating, anxiety, and/or depression. Exploring conscious and less conscious thoughts and feelings helps to bring internal conflicts to light and resolve emotional pain. To facilitate this process of discovery and relief, I have a supportive and calm demeanor that helps people open up about their inner life and find new ways to cope. I often recommend use of nutritionists, physicians and other professionals to best address the whole person and reduce uncomfortable and relentless symptoms.

Entering into psychotherapy is a very big step. I congratulate you for your bravery. Perhaps you have had therapy before and are returning because it was so helpful to you. Maybe you have never talked to a counselor before but you know that you need the help of a professional. No matter who you are, you have something in common with the over 7 billion people on our planet....you experience anger, depression, anxiety, guilt, shame and a multitude of other painful emotions. In my work I use a warm, humanistic approach that you will find comforting and affirming.
