My areas of interest include eating disorders, relationship problems, stress management issues, adjustment disorders, acculturation issues, grief/loss, depression and anxiety disorders.
Currently, accepting referrals for Adult DBT group starting on Sep 12th 2024. I see psychotherapy as a safe place where healing and change are fostered. I help patients to be able to gain awareness of their own thoughts, feelings and behaviors so they are able to change aspects of themselves that are holding them back from having a self-fulfilling life. I believe that everybody has the capacity to change and live a life worth living. The therapeutic relationship is central. I provide a warm, caring, nonjudgemental and compassionate environment that helps clients to feel supported while working on their goals.

I specialize in providing counseling to people with anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders/negative body image, trauma and relationship issues.
Starting therapy can be the first step in making meaningful change in your life. You may be seeking therapy to explore a problem, change a pattern, recover from depression or anxiety, or improve relationships with others. Perhaps you are struggling with food or body image. If you are questioning your sexual orientation, coming out, and/or navigating gender identity, therapy should be a space where you feel seen and understood. Whatever your situation, it is possible to gain insight, solve problems, feel better, and be the best version of you.

I specialize in trauma and eating disorders, including ARFID, rumination syndrome, and undiagnosed eating struggles.
As a queer occupational therapist, I take a "build your own" approach to therapy that is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a belief that our bodies are deeply connected to our sense of self and our experience of the world around us. Disruptions in those connections can lead to many painful experiences, so repairing the body-self relationship is often part of the work my clients and I do together. I use your specific experiences rather than labels to guide my approach, so in each session I draw from sources like IFS, bodywork practices, relational theories, and a range of experiential modalities to find the best fit I can for you.

Hi, Im so glad you are HERE. Eating disorders are highly misunderstood. They don't have 'a look' and at times can feel 'normal'. Whether you're wondering if your struggles with food and your body are limiting your life or you're seeking to continue your recovery journey, I am honored to walk alongside you each step of the way. Together, through a supportive, non-judgmental relationship we will determine your specific recovery needs and work towards creating a value driven life. Recovery is possible.

As confidence and motivation increases, I have seen my clients develop an authentic version of themselves by gaining insight into their thoughts and behaviors, building awareness around their relationships with others and challenging unhelpful coping behaviors.

Not currently accepting new clients, inquire for waitlist! I primarily treat clients who struggle with eating disorders, body image concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. I often times see clients who struggle with deeper parts of themselves, such as trauma, relationship issues, gender/sexuality issues, etc., that manifest in their relationship with food or self. I want to support clients in both understanding how deeper issues of self affect external behaviors, as well as how to create more adaptive and sustainable coping. I have worked in all levels of eating disorder treatment and have worked with many co-occuring diagnoses.

Licensed in both Massachusetts and New York, I work with adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and self-esteem.
I know how easy it is to want to give up pursuing food freedom. To want to go back to the diet. But here is what I want to remind you: You are worth it and recovery is worth fighting for. This is a journey of growth and change that will give you the life you deserve. This is you becoming strong. My goal as your therapist is to help you build upon your strengths, gain insight into patterns of behavior you would like to change, and enhance your self-understanding. I don't want you to just survive, I want you to thrive.
