Together with clients, we co-create change through evidence-based modalities designed to unburden the whole self from the effects of guilt, shame and outdated self concepts. My goal in the therapy room is to assist you in cultivating your relationship with yourself. Sometimes a bit scary at first, looking inside at how one relates to their own feelings and thoughts, becomes a powerful skill leading to thoughtful and positive change. I assist you in uncovering the inborn wisdom you already hold to more skillfully navigate the twists and turns of life.

Most clients who contact me are looking for help with self-esteem, body image, food, relationships, or parenting. I specialize in eating disorders, and have helped many women and teens recover and find peace from the constant voice in their head that tells them they aren’t enough. I have treated anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID. I am trained in FBT and have used it to help parents successfully refeed their children and teens at home. In my former career, I was a special education teacher. I enjoy helping parents who have children with mental health concerns navigate the school system as needed.
