I specialize in helping people who know what changes need to be made, but who struggle with knowing how to make them: whether it is with food, relationships, self-harm or addictions. My method is primarily skills based: I accept what you bring in, and then we work together toward change. I am experienced with mood, anxiety and thought disorders. I'm passionate about working with eating disorders, body image and LGBTQ+ issues. I work well with adults, adolescents and groups. I strongly believe that developing a solid and collaborative therapeutic relationship is crucial to healing.
My approach is both behavioral and cognitive, and I regularly use Mindfulness strategies. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Art Therapy. I collaborate with my clients to develop strategies, skills and exercises so that they can realize their goals.
I specialize in treating eating disorders (particularly Binge Eating Disorder) and body image issues. I have combined DBT and art therapy for use with eating disorders in order to provide opportunities to practice new skills to replace disordered eating as a coping strategy for difficult emotions. I look forward to working with you!
