I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS), seeing patients in person and via telehealth. I offer individual, family, and group therapy at my practice. I am regularly inspired by the individuals and families I see for therapy, and am humbled by the fact I am someone with whom they choose to share their greatest pain, their deepest secrets, and meaningful epiphanies about the world in which they live. Every person is different, every situation is different, and the number of variables present are infinite. I enjoy taking this journey with patients as they work to regain a feeling of being whole.

We humans don't exactly love uncertainty or discomfort. If you're like most humans, you've tried strategies to escape, ignore, or numb out from those bad thoughts and feelings. And if you're like most people, none of those strategies really helped resolve for the long term... maybe those strategies even cost you something valuable, like your relationships, your peace of mind, or your sense of self. If this sounds like you, you are not alone, and you are certainly not broken or crazy; you are simply human, doing your best to figure out how to navigate the challenges of living in this world, while also trying to find your place in it.

You feel yourself over-functioning…everywhere… all of the time. Burned out and overwhelmed, you’re feeling stuck in a pattern that try as you might, you just can’t seem to break free of. You’re recognizing that maybe, just maybe, there’s something deeper going on that keeps you striving so incredibly hard. Feeling disconnected from yourself and others, you’re exhausted, you’ve hit your limit, and something’s gotta give.
