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.

You are an adult, teen or couple dealing with trauma, life transition, grief, anxiety, relationship strain or emotional pain from your past or present. Old coping strategies no longer work and you feel stuck, indecisive, scared, or angry. An uplifting, experienced therapist, I have brain science expertise and am trauma-informed. I will help you find hope and new perspectives, face your fears, overcome self-limiting beliefs, stop avoiding and be proactive. I seek to help you move from shame to self-compassion, from self-doubt to clarity, from insecurity to empowered self-expression, from over-reactivity to clarity & mindful wisdom.

People I see include those who want to restore resilience and love in their relationship; people who need to get a teen or adult child to be constructive and respectful; people who are reacting to people or situations in a way that is not in line with their values (my de-triggering approach that includes EMDR is important for this) because of trauma or other things; people who want a body-mind approach to chronic pain; those who have depression that traditional methods are not helping well enough.

I have a growing specialty with survivors of abusive and unethical treatment programs, including the “Troubled Teen Industry.
Quality therapy is not the fastest or most-marketed approach. Society loves to push the quick, the extreme, the “take this or do that!” But what if you tried different advice and proposed “fixes” and still feel unfulfilled? Even by therapists offering a popular or “gold standard” intervention? What do you actually need? In my journey as both a survivor and a psychologist, I’ve seen that the answer to this lies in the power of your own mind! I know, a hugely challenging task, but therapy from a fitting and experienced professional can definitely help!

I will work with your child or teen, and also with you to feel better.
Are you tired of things being so tough with your kids? You can see that your child or teen is struggling, but you're not sure what to do to help. They may be having difficulties at school or with friends. Or it may be that things feel out of control at home. You try so hard to help things get better, but it feels like things are just stuck. Maybe you've noticed that your reactions are way bigger than you want them to be. Something happens to trigger you and you lose your temper, and then you feel so guilty. Or it seems overwhelming because you listen to so many parenting professionals, but still don't have a clear path forward.
