My Approach
Reaching out for help can seem intimidating, but it is the first step in doing something for you. Strength doesn’t come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming life’s challenges you once thought you couldn’t. Living with an eating disorder, anxiety or depression can feel overwhelming but you don’t have to tackle it alone. Therapy encourages open communication to bring awareness to your innermost thoughts and feelings.
I specialize in working with preteens, teens and adults who suffer from eating disorders, mood disorders and PTSD. I work with a Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Approach to help individuals accept and tolerate powerful emotions through mindfulness, acceptance, distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
In a society where expressing emotions can be difficult, therapy is where healing and growth begin. Your past experiences do not define you. Therapy is a safe space for you to share your vulnerabilities and conquer difficult challenges of life and relationships. We will have a 15-minute introductory phone call to establish if I am the right fit for you.
