Great to meet you!

Welcome! I help children, adolescents, and adults who are dealing with eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, depression, and behavioral issues. I am a Licensed Psychologist focused on using evidence-based treatments. Evidence-based treatments means that the treatment has been tested rigorously and has been shown to be effective for a certain challenge! I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent Management Training (PMT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Family-based Treatment for Eating Disorders (FBT).

My approach to therapy

The evidence-based techniques I use sometimes seem like acronym soup! What they all boil down to is that I'm here to help support you or your child in making concrete changes to behaviors. My goal is to relate to individuals and families to support you in getting closer to living the life you want! I approach this practice with a lot of warmth and humor, and my goal is to make sure everything we do is values-driven - meaning we're doing it because it is actually important to your goals!

What you can expect from me

I want you to leave session feeling supported and empowered to practice skills from our work in your real life. The most exciting thing for me as a therapist is to hear how folks have moved closer to their goals in between sessions!
