I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with all forms of eating disorders and disordered eating. Clients who come to see me may have just been diagnosed with an eating disorder or have been struggling for years. Some clients aren't sure if they have an eating disorder, but know they are struggling with food and their body. Clients often reach out to me because they know that I practice from a Health at Every Size(R) framework and they want treatment that is not stigmatizing about weight. Adolescent clients and their families often seek me out because of my expertise doing Family Based Treatment.

Intergenerational family dysfunction is not inevitable. I work with adults and children to untangle relational and behavioral patterns that are often foundational to the presenting problem. I take an integrative, strength-based approach and help the client identify perceptions and attributions that may be interfering with optimal self development and fulfilling relationships. This therapeutic approach is helpful in changing dysfunctional relational dynamics to those that promote growth and well-being.

You long for peace and clarity in your life but when navigating a major life transition those goals can appear out of reach. Divorce, illness, family and career changes can leave any one of us reeling, feeling beaten down, overwhelmed, confused and alone. A therapist can provide that safe non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be preventing you from moving forward. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet my client's needs always honoring the fact that this work is collaborative and each client is unique.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or the loss of a loved one with a sense of feeling lost, hopeless, and without purpose? Are you struggling with life transitions & open to delving deeper to explore those issues? I primarily work with men like this, who have arrived at this point in life feeling "stuck" or "at a dead end," struggling with relationship issues and feeling disconnected & frustrated. My job is to help you re-negotiate your relationship with your feelings, see you as okay, and understand the meaning of your upbringing or narratives you've learned on "how you ought to be."

Looking to find the peacefulness that comes from feeling empowered, to learn and grow through the process of partnering in this journey of psychotherapy? As a licensed clinical social worker for the past 30 years, I have been fortunate to work in so many arenas and with so many amazing people. I am always in awe of the human spirit and the capacity to grow, change and achieve personal goals. Life can be stressful and can sometimes feel overwhelming. It can feel difficult to find a path forward, that is when therapy can help.

My ideal client would be a high-functioning, motivated individual eager to attain self-understanding and self-awareness and willing to explore underlying schemas that impact thought and behavior. This client would be open to discussing and working through 'false-self' states and their relationship to early life experiences. This process would lead the client to the expression and development of 'true self 'experiences and enhanced authenticity. Their issues may be anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, poor confidence, and low self-efficacy due to distorted thinking within the core belief system and identity.

My ideal client is someone who is motivated for change, able to take accountability for their actions, and open-minded to new concepts and challenges that improve their daily life. I encourage clients to develop SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals within the first few sessions to ensure active progress is being attained.

My ideal client is female, male, or nonbinary and is kind and generous, has good ethics, and loves to help others. They have been experiencing low self-esteem and have been numbing out emotions through food, technology, work, or other distractions. Their numbing-out practices have held them back from being their authentic self, productivity with work, maintaining healthy and loving friendships and relationships, having enough energy, and their overall self-esteem. They are ready to commit to putting in the work in therapeutic services to help them develop and maintain healthier coping skills.

My ideal client is one who is willing to explore uncomfortable areas in their life and understand that vulnerability is part of the process. One of the most important parts of therapy to me is highlighting accountability and what roles we play in our own lives. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, irrational thinking, and life adjustments. A client who can pinpoint what they would like to improve in their life and request a little bit of guidance along the way is an ideal client. Their goal is not to be perfect but to improve their day-to-day life a little more each day.

Common feelings like "I don’t feel heard” or “I can’t seem to do anything right” are expressed by the couples I work with. Individual clients feel overwhelmed and stressed, “My life is changing dramatically and I’m not sure what to do next.”

I have extensive training in the following research-supported approaches: psychodynamic therapy, EFT for couples, over 15 years of experience in the DIR/Floortime model with clients with autistic spectrum diagnoses, ADHD, and LD, and neuropsychological/developmental assessments.
With compassion and acceptance, I guide clients through a therapeutic process towards change, healing and growth. Supportive and direct, I will strive to work collaboratively with you to support your development and to help you to build strong connections with others, to discover new insights, and to find relief from feelings of depression, anxiety, harsh self-criticism, or difficulties in relationships, work, or marital conflict. I respect the unique background that each person brings, and I work together with my clients to individualize treatment to meet their needs.
