I view therapy as an opportunity that clients create for self-exploration, healing, growth, and relationship enhancement. I strongly believe that at the heart of every successful therapeutic outcome is a trusting and supportive client-therapist relationship, and it is in that context that my clients are able to explore historical and developmental issues, and their overall sense of self.

April 2025 Update: I am accepting new teletherapy clients in daytime slots. Please email me if interested - I do NOT respond to phone inquiries. Note: I do NOT offer medication management services. Psychotherapy requires a willingness to shed expectations, understanding it as a collaborative process, and taking unexpected turns along the journey. Often, we arrive with specific hopes and leave having achieved things we never realized we wanted or needed. When we shed expectations, we make room for radical growth, perspective shift, and, ultimately, healing.

Healing is a journey that begins when you give yourself permission to feel, grieve, and grow through what you’ve been through. The constant cycle of thoughts about food, body image, perfectionism, and performance can be mentally and emotionally draining. Despite your best efforts, it may feel like you’re under constant pressure—barely staying afloat while sinking deeper. But healing is more than merely surviving. You deserve to move beyond temporary fixes, uncover the root causes of your pain, and experience a deep, lasting transformation that brings true peace and freedom.

My practice aligns with the functional approach, which works from a “psychology of growth” and not from a "psychology of illness”. Therapy is a collaborative process through which I empower the individual, couple, or family to implement meaningful change(s) that will improve their well-being. Throughout the process I engage in active listening, problem identification, problem-solving techniques and follow up. As clients gain clarity of their problems, I am able to help them create their own paths to healing.
