About

If eating disorders, like binge eating, anorexia, bulimia or dieting and worrying about food, weight & shape feel like they have taken over your life, I can help you regain a sense of balance and peace. There are many unhealthy messages about how our bodies "should" look or what we "should" or "shouldn't" eat. It is my goal to help guide you back to the inner wisdom of your own body, so that eating begins to feel like a nourishing, and even joyful, experience. In addition to therapy for eating disorders, I also enjoy working with clients who need help with anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions.

I have 25+ years of experience in the treatment of eating disorders and have worked with adults of diverse genders and backgrounds on eating & weight-related concerns. I use evidence-based therapies that help clients obtain lasting change. Even if you feel very stuck in negative cycles, it is possible to find a way out to a more peaceful existence.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you become free from the stress, anxiety and fear that limit life when someone is suffering from an eating disorder, depression, or other mental health concern. There is a path to more freedom; a way for you to be able to turn more of your time and attention to the things that truly bring you joy and matter most to you.
