My "best" successes came from people who finally gave up on what wasn't working for them anymore and came in with an open mind. This worked with issues of anxiety and depression, habits that people didn't want to continue doing, relationships that felt broken, and coping mechanisms that used to work but then began to create more problems. I thoroughly enjoy working with people who are ready to get their lives back on track.

Struggling with depression or anxiety? Breaking patterns is hard, but you know you want change and meaningful redirection. Painful memories and recurrent conflict can strain relationships. Work stress gets in the way of being present and feeling fulfilled. People often work with me to get things moving when they feel blocked or stuck, to develop calm where uncertainty has them off balance. Our work will reveal insight to restore stability, address trauma, and change outlook towards realizing an improved sense of self. Together we can work to identify and harness strength, addressing challenges with new clarity and inspiration.

I will approach my work with you with respect, care and curiosity.

* I CURRENTLY HAVE A WAITLIST FOR NEW CLIENTS* Hello! I'm a psychiatrist with extensive experience in eating disorders, anxiety, and symptoms stemming from complex trauma. I often work with folks who struggle to give themselves the same grace they give others, or who struggle to believe that they are truly able to heal. My style is warm, empathetic, yet often quite direct.  I believe strongly in authenticity and in the power of human connection. I work to learn each individual deeply so that I can help you better understand your own areas of pain or conflict, and help support you as you navigate the way forward.   

We are a therapy practice of experienced clinicians who specialize in working with disordered eating, food, weight, and body image struggles, perinatal and postpartum challenges, relationship difficulties, and women's issues. We recognize the complexity of various stressors facing individuals in these challenging times and we welcome those who are new to the therapy experience as well as those who are seeking a new therapy process. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities but put you and your needs first, when determining the best treatment approach. Most important is listening to you and establishing a safe environment for a healing relationship to develop.

Are you frustrated, disengaged or anxious about life problems or school? I support healing by fostering healthy relationship. I found that clients that value a psychobiological approach to therapy tend to be drawn to me, especially if they are working through a transition such as relocation, divorce, life change, or relationship change. That approach includes physical, psychological, social and cultural domains. My greatest passion is to restore balance and bring relief. My work with clients revolves around supporting them to prioritize their needs, as well as to identify coping mechanisms and resources available to them.

I enjoy working with people who seek to discover new ways of moving through life. Sometimes this means working together to uncover new strategies for managing painful thoughts, memories and emotions. It may also involve identifying problematic patterns of behavior and exploring more adaptive coping strategies. I also enjoy working with people who wish to improve their navigation of various types of relationships including romantic, family, professional and peer relationships. Additionally, I also like helping people uncover new meaning and purpose in life.

Congratulations on embarking upon the next step in your journey! Each of these steps — every experience of bliss, fear, frustration, or sorrow — have all lead you to this very moment. The challenges and complexities of your day-to-day life may have lead you here. The traumas, losses, and heartaches of the past have, too. And while I would rather that each of us would be spared these experiences — it is my hope that I may have a chance to partner alongside you as you grow and, ideally, heal from each of them.

Struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions can be incredibly overwhelming. Often times it can feel like we are controlled by painful thoughts and feelings or repeating harmful patterns that alienate us from our authentic selves. I have expertise in treating difficulties including anxiety and over-analyzing, feelings of insecurity or anger toward yourself, and difficulty identifying what you want in life. My clients are typically motivated women, graduate students, or working professionals. I draw from evidence-based therapies that will help you get space from painful thoughts and feelings.
