I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and certified eating disorder specialist (CEDS) who has specialized in eating disorders since 2017. Previously, I've worked for The Renfrew Center and Center for Discovery for a cumulative of over 5 years. I have worked with many comorbid disorders throughout the years, with advanced training and/or supervision in codependency, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
When working with clients, I primarily take a compassionate person-centered approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Relational-Cultural Theory. What this means is that I focus on what's most important to my clients in that moment, offering validation and support, while helping them to challenge the thoughts and behaviors that have kept them stuck or held them back.
What you can expect from me is a genuine desire to get to know you before diving into therapeutic work. Over time you'll find that I maintain a balance of gentleness and directness, providing both compassion and accountability. Clients can expect to discuss the hardest things in the softest ways, with the goal of building cognitive flexibility, self-compassion, and adaptive responses.
