Teletherapy for 10019

Living with an eating disorder is about yearning to eat without burden, longing to look in the mirror without disgust, wishing to engage in life without the constant battle in your mind. A life of peace and acceptance feels impossible and the more you try to regain control, the more locked in you become. Peace is within reach. Recovery is possible. It’s just may be too hard to do it on your own. There are proven treatments that have been enhanced over decades, designed specifically to conquer eating disorders.

Do you want to strengthen your connections to yourself and others? My experiences with therapy have informed a belief that curiosity, self-examination, and strong relationships can be vehicles for positive change in ourselves, our families, and our communities. I enjoy helping clients identify the stories they tell about themselves and their world, as we work together to create adaptive, liberating new ones. You can expect that our work will “move at the speed of trust.” That is, when we start working together we will prioritize building an alliance where you are empowered to speak freely and are met with attunement and warmth.

Welcome! For over 15 years I have supported adults with borderline personality disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, self harm, suicidality, emotional dysregulation, addiction and eating disorders. I am passionate about helping clients like you experience both symptom relief and true healing through therapy tailored to your unique needs. Using dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic therapy, we work together to develop strategies to build your "life worth living" and find true healing from the misery caused by complex trauma.

Therapy begins within a trusted, emotional connection where your unique story can truly be heard. I'm dedicated to helping you sort out your feelings and circumstances, to examine difficult relationships. I will teach you effective coping skills, strategies to better handle stress and distress. We will utilize new tools to address problem behavior patterns, unhealthy relationships and to problem solve. I utilize a nuanced, crafted combination of evidenced-based therapies: Mindfulness, Supportive, Relational, Psychodynamic, Motivational, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Modern Analytic and Family Treatments.

I have found that my study of Family Systems Theory has illuminated my practice with individuals and couples. The tool set of Family Therapy can be very powerful in an individual therapy context when dealing with issues such as eating disorders, anxiety/panic, or depression. And because our intimate or spousal relationships can often be the screen on which we project our inherited difficulties, the family therapy model can also be a great resource for couples seeking a relationship of balance and longevity.

My philosophy has evolved over two decades of hands-on clinical work, extensive psychoanalytic training and analysis. These experiences have taught me that if I listen carefully enough to anyone's story, they and their struggles make sense. I try to help people stop seeing themselves as an extension of their problem and see the problems as an attempt to cope with something unseen and overwhelming that has gone awry. Every person's choices in life, whether in relationships, work, and play make sense, even if they are self-destructive. I work primarily with adults and adolescents, and with couples.

I believe effective psychotherapy is grounded in the relationship between the therapist and client. My style is warm, empathic, and interactive. As a collaborative partner, I am committed to providing a space that can hold past, present and future aspects of your inner world that can be intolerable alone, but in therapy can lead to new life possibilities and new ways of being. As humans, our identity is often layered and complex, and I seek to empower your most authentic self.
