Deciding to meet with a therapist takes courage. As you begin the potentially daunting process, it is important to find a therapist you can connect with as the therapeutic relationship can be the catalyst for change. In therapy, I will help you recognize and build on your own strengths. I will treat you with the respect and dignity that you are worthy of and will tailor my approach to suit your needs. I will help you break dysfunctional patterns that keep you from experiencing happiness and together we will balance this difficult dialogue with perspective and humor.I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, and food and body issues. I also treat those struggling with depression and anxiety as well as with life transitions, grief, and relationship difficulties.My approach is collaborative as the goal in treatment is to be able to thrive independently when the time is right. Aided by empathy, gentle directness, and humor, I hope you emerge from therapy feeling more confident, less alone, and able to live the life you desire.
