Great to meet you!

Do you feel stuck? Not feeling good about yourself? Are you consumed by thoughts about food, exercise or body image? Or help captive by painful experiences from your past? Healing is possible. No matter who you are or what has happened to you, you deserve to feel safe and have a life worth living. You deserve to explore your wants and needs and step into new roles.

I specialize in treating trauma, relational issues and eating disorders. My approach is highly individualized and flexible, incorporating psychodynamic, mindfulness, and behavioral techniques in therapy. My style is warm and authentic with a strong emphasis on insight development and change.
