Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your therapist. I am licensed to treat clients in Massachusetts, and work under Karin Lewis at the Karin Lewis Eating Disorder Center (KLEDC). I specialize in treating individuals with eating disorders and substance use disorders but have experience in a breadth of other specialties as well. I am passionate about helping people come to terms with being the "messy humans" that they are, and establishing a strong foundation of coping skills. My approach is humanistic, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and focused on both growth and acceptance.

Many come to therapy knowing only that they are struggling to get things done, their relationships have become a source of stress rather than comfort, or they need help processing trauma, loss, or other painful experiences impacting their daily lives. Whatever your circumstances, I strive to help each person or family I work with achieve greater emotional, psychological, and social well-being, while also alleviating symptoms. I use the power of storytelling and understand that each person I work with has many, important stories to tell. I also value and work with each person's nervous system in the healing process.

Life is never straightforward, and we are often left facing changes that are both surprising and difficult to navigate. Our shift into a new role, a disappointment at work, a problem in a relationship can cause us to feel anxious, angry, sad, and confused. We try our best to manage these struggles and their resulting shifts in mood and achievement, sometimes using coping strategies that turn out to be more problematic than helpful. We are left thinking, what happened? Will I ever feel like my old self? Why can't I just get over this?
