About

You are allowed to be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time - Sophia Bush. Are you at war with your emotions, food, or your body? Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg, and I invite you to take you on a journey below the surface. I am a DBT-certified, trauma-certified, and Intuitive Eating certified therapist and I see therapy as a journey we take together; you’re the driver and I'm the helpful passenger :) I have been a licensed therapist for 17 years, supporting people with eating disorders, issues with emotion regulation, body image issues, and borderline personality disorder. You're never "too much" for me. View 7 Photos

I have studied a number of therapy modalities although my specialty is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which I have trained in since 2007. Together we can find what works for you and the goals you want to achieve. There's no "one size fits all" approach to therapy, and we'll use a strengths-based approach to find what works!

I enjoy working with people from teens to late adulthood who struggle with emotion regulation and food/body issues. I help people learn to "love" (or at least accept) their emotions and their bodies. I am open-minded, compassionately challenging, and nonjudgmental with my clients, and I love to use humor in my sessions!
