I believe that therapy is a partnership and I work in collaboration with my clients to understand how we can work together to best support them in overcoming challenges and achieving their goals. I am a person-centered, integrative therapist, drawing from a variety of evidenced-based therapies to individualize care and meet the unique needs of each client.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing food and body image concerns, including eating disorders—anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating, ARFID, and OSFED—disordered eating, body dysmorphic disorder, as well as issues relating to self-esteem and perfectionism.

My clinical background includes mindfulness-based stress reduction, CBT, ACT, DBT, compassion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and expressive arts therapy. Grounded in compassion and empathy, I work with clients to identify, understand, and challenge the thoughts and behaviors that prevent them from experiencing and enjoying life.

I approach every Client as a unique individual, meeting them where they are in their journey.
