Are concerns about food, body image, or health taking up more space in your mind than you'd like? Do you—or a loved one—feel stuck in patterns that interfere with living a full, meaningful life? If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, navigating a life transition, or struggling with disordered eating, you're not alone—and support is available. I'm a doctoral-level psychologist specializing in eating disorders, health behavior change, and stress management. I aim to help you better understand yourself and develop practical tools to shift behaviors that no longer serve you.
My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a feminist framework. I work collaboratively and compassionately, helping you explore your concerns with curiosity. We’ll consider cultural and systemic influences that shape your experiences. Therapy is a space where we plant seeds for change—what you do between sessions helps those seeds grow.
Finding the right therapist can take time, and it’s okay if it doesn’t happen on the first try. Therapy, like any other tool, works best when it’s the right fit. If you’re curious about working together or want to learn more about my approach, I invite you to reach out or visit my website for additional details.

First, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck and how you'd like life to be different. You'll begin to understand the ways that thoughts and behaviors impact the way you feel. Along the way, you'll learn different ways to interact with your thoughts. Together, we identify small changes to try, and monitor the impact of those changes on your thinking and mood.
