Your thoughts about food and wanting to change your body feel constant. Binge eating by the end of the night may feel inevitable. You continually compare your body to others and to the times when you were thinner. You have high expectations for yourself but feel like it's never good enough or that you are failing. Family members may be expressing concern for your well being, or maybe they have no idea how much you are struggling. Issues with binge eating, body hate, bulimia, or anorexia can feel like they're taking over your life.

Are you tired of the same argument over and over again? Feeling unheard in your relationship? Frustrated because no matter what you do, you just can’t get it right with your partner? Missing the intimacy and connection with the person you love the most? The most important relationships in our lives can be the source of some of our greatest joy, as well as our greatest pain. It’s no coincidence that our most important relationships can often take the most work, though this work can be enriching and productive. Now more than ever, resilient, connected relationships can have a profound effect on mental health and well-being.

**Accepting new clients** Strong people ask for help, knowing that everybody has a story and within each of us lies the ability to examine the past so we can move into the future. I encourage you to ask yourself not "what's wrong with me ?" but rather, "what happened to me?" Stop thinking "I need therapy" and start focusing on "I want therapy." Therapy is not about mental illness - it's about mental health. Focus on the fact that therapy is an experience that is normal, natural and a journey others have navigated. Life presents all of us with challenges but if we meet the challange and learn from it then we also grow from it.

The thought of someone being upset with you makes your skin crawl. Another day gone by where you kept your thoughts to yourself to keep the peace. Big emotions and conflict feel dangerous and you fear as soon as you say what you’re feeling, people will judge and leave you. Being agreeable and going along with what others want feels like the safest way to live. You're spending the day replaying convos in your head, questioning if you said the wrong thing and worrying if that person is mad at you. You're exhausted from always apologizing, but backing down would cause conflict and you'd be seen as a problem for others.

Life’s intense challenges can be overwhelming to deal with on your own. You may fear that acknowledging certain issues or feelings will overwhelm you. Many of us have learned that in order to be accepted, we must suppress our true feelings. This suppression of our real feelings, experiences, challenges may influence our behavior in unpredictable and negative ways and leave us feeling isolated, hopeless and alone. No matter what you’re feeling or facing, you are not alone and there is hope. Working with a skilled therapist leads to healing and growth.

Sometimes the world feels overwhelming and it takes all we have just to keep our heads above water. You're exhausted and ask yourself, “why can’t I just move on and be happy?” If you struggle with intense, unpleasant feelings like shame, anger, guilt, fear, and sadness, I'd like to work with you. You see, these feelings tend to come from maladaptive beliefs that sound like “I’m a failure,” “I’m not good enough,” or even something like “I’m just too much.” The problem with beliefs like this is that they don't respond well to traditional CBT therapy. That's why I offer something a little different.

I love working with children and taking a whole child approach. I was a social worker at the elementary school level for 10 years prior to private practice, which allows me to bring a unique skill set to my work with children. I moved to private practice to have the ability to work on a deeper level with children and their families.
