Waitlist for new clients
Self-compassion can be tough and many of us are living our lives feeling disconnected from our bodies. More times than not, we have no idea how we got here. There are many forces at play and it's helpful to understand societal expectations and pressures to better understand ourselves. This is a second career for me and throughout my years as a therapist, I’ve observed how my previous experiences contribute to how I connect with people. Gradually, together, we can work to identify barriers, name emotions, tolerate distress, and move toward the life you want to be living.

I specialize in helping adults heal from anxiety, eating disorders, body image distress, and obsessive compulsive disorder. My clients are people who value self-growth & self-knowledge. What they want most is self-love. They are smart, capable, high-achievers, but usually think they make too many mistakes to be called a perfectionist. My clients struggle with their relationships with food, with their body, and with being in control. They know what it’s like to feel not-good-enough, anxious, and overwhelmed.

Welcome, friend! I am so glad you found your way here. Recognizing that you need help along your journey toward healing and wellness is one of the hardest yet bravest steps, so I invite you in this moment to be proud of yourself. Perhaps you have landed on this site because you feel disconnected—disconnected from your emotions, your body, your relationships, the world itself. Maybe your existence feels smaller because you find yourself consumed by unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Maybe you notice a disconnection between the life you want and the life you are living. You are not alone.

I work with the following conditions: addictions, alcoholism, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, problems in living, relationship issues and trauma.
My goal is to help you to resolve the problems that bring you to therapy and to help you to understand the personal and environmental factors that might have contributed to your problems. I draw from both insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral approaches and I believe that therapy is first and foremost a collaborative partnership where the patient and therapist work together to achieve stability; restore functioning; remedy long-standing, problematic behavior patterns; and develop a platform for lifelong growth, renewed energy, self-development and enhanced relationships. I've been in practice since 1990.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. Mental health is rarely a linear path and too often we feel like progress needs to be measured in the here and now. I enjoy working with clients that are seeking to address areas in their life that they are struggling with. The client I tend to work best with is someone who is willing to look at their life with an open mind and a willingness to work on asserting more control in their journey. I am inclusive of all and pass no judgement as all of us need a space to safely explore our needs.

Hello! I am a registered art therapist and licensed clinical mental health counselor with a creative and person-centered approach. You do not have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. In fact, some of the most profound shifts I have witnessed have occurred with people who do not identify as artistic in any way. You are simply asked to bring a sense of openness and curiosity to our collaboration, where you will be invited to be active in setting the pace and goals of our work together. My philosophy is that art and creativity facilitate insight, growth, and healing.
