I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples on weight loss, weight management, and overcoming binge/emotional eating through a holistic approach integrating mind, body, and spirit. Whether both partners need to lose weight or one partner struggles with binge eating or emotional eating, couples therapy provides space to address inner and outer obstacles that prevent reaching and maintaining a healthy weight together. Working together to overcome struggle in itself can be a powerful process to strengthen a relationship

I enjoy helping young adults learn more about who they are and what they want out of this life. Setting boundaries, developing more positive self-talk, problem-solving, improving communication skills, and being authentic are all important factors to feeling like your best self. I tend to have more of a conversational, laid-back style and believe a sense of humor and some foul language in sessions can be incredibly therapeutic! I strongly believe that the therapist-client relationship is the number one reason for success in a therapeutic relationship, so it is important to me that you feel like we are the right fit.
