People with eating disorders are often exhausted from constantly thinking about food and their body. Part of you wishes that you could be free from this, but another part may feel scared about recovery. You are tired of living with an eating disorder and want to make peace with food and your body. You don't have to continue to feel so trapped. I've been there myself in the past and I can help.

Everyone experiences times in their lives when they feel stuck. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, awake at night worried about the future and paralyzed during the day, unable to take the steps you think might make things better. Or, maybe you are struggling with relationships in your life: a partner, children, friends or colleagues. You aren’t feeling heard or valued and you worry about where things are headed. Or, perhaps you are living with the effects of a trauma that has long since passed but seems to be with you every day. In any case, you don’t want things to continue like this. Something has to change.

As a "Top Marriage, Family and Sex Therapist" in Washingtonian Magazine in 2009 & 2012, my focus is on helping couples address their emotional and sexual ruptures in their relationships. If you feel far apart from or in conflict with your partner, therapy can help you to feel close again. As an couples relationship and certified sex therapist, with over 30 years of experience, couples learn to unravel their dance and a structured communications tool, which fosters listening, understanding and empathy. Sexual and emotional intimacy are restored.

Thank you for stopping here - My work is focused on those whose lives are impacted by medical situations and the caregivers of loved ones that face life-altering or chronic illness. I help my clients gently explore the stress they are facing and find better ways of coping with the changes that their bodies and lives go through. Together we explore the trauma of chronic or life threatening illness, honoring the deep desires, exposing the fears and finding the courage to make self affirming choices. Through the healing relationship my clients learn to navigate the process of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

I enjoy working with clients who are willing to do the work necessary to reap the benefits. I work with people who present with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other daily life issues. I have worked extensively with individuals and families in crisis. I work collaboratively with the client to establish ways to cope with their difficulties in a warm, empathic environment. I am EMDR certified and utilize this modality as appropriate.

My greatest passion in life is helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate their own therapeutic journey. As a neurodiversity affirming therapist, I focus less on problematic behaviors and more on identifying unmet needs and lagging skills. I am strong believer that children are not intentionally giving their parents/teachers/caregivers a hard time, but rather they are having a hard time. As Dr. Ross Green states, "kids do well if they can."
