At times life presents challenges that can feel overwhelming, confusing and leave us questioning how to overcome them. However, I believe that teaching clients skills to develop greater self-awareness and self-acceptance can provide them the opportunities to manage and survive crisis situations, regulate their emotions, improve their communication in relationships and ultimately take control of their recovery. My approach to treatment can be described as collaborative, warm and supportive, while also being directive in coaching clients to practice evidence-based skills. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with extensive training in DBT, CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, and FBT (Maudsley Model) for the treatment of Anorexia. My specialties are working with parents, especially Moms, in all stages/ages of parenting, eating disorders and the treatment of anxiety for children/teens/adults. I'm experienced in the treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), binge eating disorder, anxiety and depressive disorders, parenting skills/coaching, trauma issues, low self-esteem, adjustment disorders, and stress management.
