I have created a supportive environment that services clients that struggle with all facets of eating disorders that include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and emotional eating while addressing the mood components that occur along side disordered eating from a self-regulatory position. When struggling with disordered eating it is difficult to find treatment that will fit your needs wherever you are on your journey. If you are new to treatment, continuing on your treatment journey or if you have recently been discharged from treatment I offer individual and group services to meet you where you are at.

For some of us our internal dialogue with ourselves could be described as anything but kind. We can be critical, self-deprecating, or devaluing of our experience due to past traumas that have informed a part of who we are, shame or guilt associated with our identity, or fear of experiencing ourselves as selfish. At times we can be so angry with ourselves for feeling that we are trapped in a cycle of attempting to do enough for others to finally have permission to be ourselves. This anger can give way to burn out, isolation, depression, and resignation. It can feel impossible to break out of that space.

Hello, I am a licensed clinician in the treatment of adults and adolescents. I find that regardless of the reasons a client seeks treatment, the most effective way of bringing healing relief is a comfortable and respectful relationship. My clients have described me as light-hearted, professional, and caring. A decision to enter into therapy is deciding to take a first step toward an improved quality of life. I try to keep this idea in the forefront with my clients when we work together to create specialized treatment plans toward achieving their goals.

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change."- Jim Rohn. People seek counseling when their emotional pain becomes too much to bear on their own and they want to be free of it. How we deal with life's pain defines who we are. While we don't choose to undergo misfortune, we do decide how we react to those events. I have found that negative experiences can also trigger something positive within us. Crisis offers opportunity for change, and pain can be the catalyst for transformation.
