No matter what, we will experience suffering in life. People will come and go, we'll have times of failure as well as success, we may experience sickness or traumas. And this suffering can naturally lead to fear and worry and sadness. When we become overwhelmed by these experiences and don't have access to our own innate ability to navigate them, anxiety and depression occur. Often this happens when we either turn inward and criticize and blame our selves for whatever is happening, or we turn outward and blame others, or even life itself.

Healing crises occur throughout our lives and are often brought forth in times of transition and loss. I believe these times provide opportunities for development in our relationships with others and ourselves. Therapy is a healthy way of working through crisis and transition. I have worked for over 10 years with adults and children who are healing from recent and past traumas and/or loss. My training and experience includes working with sexual traumas, domestic violence, substance dependence, and co-dependency issuses. I focus on helping clients tell their stories and identify beliefs and coping strategies that are unhelpful.

In working with eating disorders I employ a number of models within a framework of a bio-psychosocial perspective.
As a systems oriented psychotherapist,
I believe that we are connected to and affected by those around us. Our families of origin,
communities,cultures,workplaces and families of choice impact our lives and sense of self.
Relationships and experiences we have had in the past influence who we are and how we relate to the world. To live with the greatest joy and productivity we must heal past relational traumas and bring to consciousness effects they have had in our lives. By doing so, we are free to make thoughtful choices about how we live our lives and relate to others.

Are anxiety or depression getting in the way of enjoying your life? Or have you gone through a traumatic event that left you with painful thoughts and feelings that won't go away? Perhaps you lived in a difficult family situation growing up, and now find yourself struggling with your mood or your relationships. Maybe there is a part of your identity that has not always found acceptance, and you are looking for an affirming space to explore living your most authentic life. Or you may worry about food and body image constantly. You may feel alone in your concerns, and wonder if anyone or anything can help.

I work with adolescents and adults doing individual and couples therapy. I help people change unhappy patterns in their lives and find relief from suffering. I utilize psychodynamic interventions, IFS therapy, and EMDR to help clients change. Gaining insight into unconscious processes is an important step in recovering from trauma, anxiety and depression. Making the unconscious conscious, learning about parts, and overcoming past contributors to current suffering, are all part of the therapeutic process.

I specialize in disordered eating, body image, and the impact of weight stigma, with a focus on life transitions, such as pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause/menopause.

We all experience times in our life when additional support could be helpful. Unfortunately, during these times seeking support can feel overwhelming and vulnerable.

As a therapist, I have deep respect for the people that I work with and it’s important to me that I understand my clients experiences and work collaboratively with them to support their goals. My approach is strength-based, trauma-informed, and rooted within a multicultural/feminist framework that attends to context, reinforces resilience, and focuses on empowerment.

With over 15 years of treating CPTSD and Eating Disorders, I love working with individuals who believe in deconstructing systems of oppression that remove our body autonomy and disconnect us from our sense of self.
Finding an opportunity to heal takes courage and is often a decision made in isolation. I believe everyone deserves access to healing spaces so that we can live a more connected, authentic and resilient life. The wounds we carry often keep us from feeling a sense of meaning, purpose and community. Finding a safe space to heal in the world we live in can feel impossible. My work focuses on creating this space together. It's my goal to help you better understand the systems that stand in the way of your healing and that prevent you from accessing the support you really need.

What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
