I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. I’m passionate about providing evidenced-based care and am one of the only therapists in San Diego certified in Family-Based Treatment (FBT), the gold standard treatment for child and adolescent eating disorders. My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I am deeply empathetic to the struggles that eating disorders pose for clients and their families. I strongly believe that no one chooses to have an eating disorder (nor do parents cause eating disorders) and that there is always hope for lasting recovery.

"In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” I truly believe that people are not what happened to them. They are what they choose to become. Therapy is a safe and private space in which you are able to deepen your understanding of your capabilities and choices you can make in life. Through providing positive and feedbacks, I will assist you to acquire a healthy set of coping skills and gain more insight about your psychology. This insight will eventually “unstuck” you from repeating unhealthy behaviors by breaking old patterns and developing new ones.

It does take courage to set up that first appointment, and the fit between therapist and client is an important one for the success of therapy. I encourage my clients to ask questions and express concerns about therapy and determine whether my approach and style are a good fit for you. Some common reasons people seek therapy have to do with self-exploration, how to communicate better with people, and how to cope with stressful life situations. My approach is a collaborative one and goal oriented. My focus is to support you find healthier coping skills to manage the challenging situations life might bring.

Are you tired of surviving and ready to start thriving? It may be stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, an eating disorder or an addiction that is disrupting your life. Perhaps you are experiencing distress in your relationship, as a parent (or with your parents), or with the rest of your family. Untreated mental health issues can take a toll on your mind, body, and spirit in long term ways. It is important that you have a caring and compassionate therapist with the expertise to help you shift from surviving to thriving with effective skills and the ability to get to the root of the problem.

Life is full of unexpected turns and challenges, and you’ve been trying to push through the barriers on your own for a while now. You’ve sought out various ways to make yourself feel better temporarily, but haven’t found something that brings long-term relief. Sometimes, despite your great effort, those overwhelming feelings of loneliness, fear, and helplessness continue to persist. If you're struggling with emotional pain, you don't have to deal with it all alone. What you need may be a safe space where your difficult feelings can be worked through and your authentic self can be seen, understood, and accepted.

Emotional scars, many of us have some internally. Some of the “scars” may be buried, suppressed, or repressed. We push it aside to get through our days until we realize it is bleeding into our life, relationships, work, and/or school. We see the scars (i.e., stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, past) as a nuisance, which they can be. If we take a moment to look at the scars, they may be telling us what you need in order to heal and grow. I am here to help you find your inner strength to overcome these scars and life challenges.
