My Approach to Therapy

I'm a therapist that meets you where you are to foster a collaborative space for growth and deeper self-understanding. My approach combines gentle guidance with direct honesty, prioritizing accountability and self-discovery. As a Certified Eating Specialist Consultant (CEDSC), I specialize in disordered eating as well as anxiety and depression, and I'm passionate about supporting individuals navigating life transitions. For trauma recovery, I integrate EMDR with person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills, empowering you to heal and move forward. I'm an LMFT and have been working in the field of eating disorders since 2001. With 20+ years of experience, I have directed treatment at all levels of care and serve as a Clinical Supervisor for a mental health organization with a nationwide presence.
