Welcome! I work to create a non-judgmental safe space to make individuals feel comfortable with opening up and making treatment individual to you. Often, we can lose sight of the things that make our life rich and meaningful because life gets messy. I aim to learn about the unique aspects of yourself that make you who you are in order to best treat you. I adapt components of branches of therapy such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and EMDR to meet your needs and develop new and effective strategies. My ultimate goal is to empower you to meet your goals, connect to your values, and feel you have control back in your life.

We come into this world oriented to our own bodies and needs; yet along the way, we're told our bodies are the problem and learn to distrust them. If you're struggling with disordered eating, perfectionism, anxious thought spirals, body image distress, burnout, or obsessive thoughts, your body is speaking to you in some way or another. My passion is supporting women, particularly those in early adulthood and motherhood, truly listen and reconnect to themselves so we can move toward a world of collective liberation for all.

Throughout our lives many of us develop defenses and behaviors to survive. We may find in time that these ways of survival no longer serve us, and our current life goals or circumstances but instead keep us feeling trapped. Our once understandable attempts to avoid pain may have left us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Your true self is not your survival strategies.

I provide trauma-informed care to women and men, and couples therapy. I want to help clarify whatever it is you want to heal. What is it that you aren't getting from your environment that leads you to overwork, over think, isolate or continue habits you already know don't serve you? To communicate better in your relationships I will use what I’ve learned to help guide you in how to disagree without hurting, highlight what is already working, and uncover the struggles you face to get to the core reasons why we get stuck. I help individuals with ADHD, OCD, and other anxiety disorders. The label doesn't matter as much as you do.

My favorite thing to do as a therapist is to see people heal the relationship they have with themselves so they can build a life that they truly love. The beliefs that we hold about ourselves are at the core of everything we think, feel, and do. When those beliefs are positive and supportive, we move through life generally feeling good and confident in our ability to accomplish our goals, build meaningful relationships, and feel fulfilled. However, when these beliefs are negative, we experience unpleasant feelings like depression and anxiety, and we engage in coping strategies that keep us from the life we truly desire to live.

Has life been recently more difficult than usual? Or have you noticed your mental health beginning to be affected by daily tasks or obligations? Have you been feeling as though you don’t have anyone to speak to or who will listen? These are common questions we ask ourselves but don’t necessarily always have the solution for them. Life can be overwhelming at times and asking for help can seem daunting; but you deserve for your voice to be heard and your thoughts or feelings to be validated. No one should have to navigate life’s events alone, having a person in your corner can provide relief and support.

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
