Has the need for control taken control over your life? Have avoidance, distraction, or other strategies you use to ease your anxiety created problems in the long run?  Therapy can provide you with the tools to not only reduce your suffering, but produce a life better than you ever imagined. Working together, I will help you face irrational fears, challenge ingrained thoughts and behaviors, and find more effective ways to cope. With years of working in residential treatment centers, I am passionate about treating eating disorders, OCD, and related conditions such as anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem, and body image.
I also specialize in working with ADHD and LGBTQ+ issues. As a proud member of both of these communities, I feel strongly about providing a safe space for these individuals. I have a down-to-earth and genuine approach and may even add in a little touch of humor. I enjoy challenging my clients, while also having a little fun.
I believe that you don’t have to feel ready for therapy. You don’t have to arrive put together or with all the answers; you can just show up. Come as you are and we’ll work together on the rest. I feel it’s crucial to find a therapist who is a good fit, so let’s chat briefly to get to know each other better. I look forward to getting to know you!

I don't prescribe to a "one-size-fits-all" approach. In our first session we will explore what brought you in and then determine the most appropriate way to support you. I typically practice with a foundation in psychodynamic approaches, understanding you deeper and the patterns that repeat in your life, and then branch off to incorporate other approaches that tailor to your specific needs.
