Your eyes barely open, and the thought hits you like a gut punch: "How much weight did I gain?” Still half asleep, you are on the scale, holding your breath until you see the number. “What the—?” FOUR pounds?” Your relentless inner critic booms in your head: “You don’t deserve to eat today! You are fat and ugly!” The critic voice is there all day long, dogging your every move. “Skip lunch! You don’t have time for that!” Staring blankly at the screen at work, you can’t seem to focus or concentrate. You don't join in the birthday celebration in the break room. The side eye and silent judging of what's on your plate are just too much.
I provide a safe space for you to identify the issues underlying your disordered eating, and help you better understand your emotions. Using DBT, we will work together to identify emotional triggers and reduce the intense feelings of shame and guilt so you can cultivate healthier eating habits. You CAN build the life you want and make peace with your body.
Don't wait until someday. Start living the life you want today. Quiet that inner critic that tells you that you can't do it, you aren't worth it, and you can never change. Let's work together to heal those emotional wounds and build an empowered future. Call today to find a time to meet and begin the journey to healing your body and mind.

I work with people who may be struggling with depression, anxiety or eating disorders stemming from long-term childhood abuse or neglect. The first few sessions are typically spent gathering history and background information, identifying problematic areas of concern, and building a solid, trusting therapeutic relationship. Together we will create a road map to meet your targeted treatment goals.

As a DBT therapist, this approach to treatment is the foundation of how I think about and formulate ideas about the therapy process. DBT is also based upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), so I often focus on how thoughts interact with emotions and behaviors as well as teaching clients more effective skills. The larger social context that impacts client experience is also important to consider.
