Great to meet you!

I believe in the powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit, and I see therapy as a space for healing, growth, and self-discovery. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive environment where you feel safe exploring what you’re going through and building toward meaningful change.

I specialize in treating eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and body image concerns. I work with adolescents, adults, and families, and I bring more than 15 years of experience across hospital and outpatient settings. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-worth, and challenges with emotional regulation.

My approach to therapy

My approach is individualized and grounded in Health at Every Size (HAES) and All Foods Fit. I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to build practical tools for change. I also draw from DBT to support mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and healthier relationships. Mindfulness work can help you relate to difficult thoughts and feelings with more self-awareness, less judgment, and a greater sense of steadiness in the present. I also incorporate Motivational Interviewing to help clients move toward recovery in a way that feels collaborative and sustainable.

What you can expect from me

I am licensed in Connecticut and Florida, and I am committed to helping you build a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself while moving toward lasting recovery.
