About My Clients

Do you want to feel better your body and need to heal your relationship with food? Are you struggling with worry/anxiety or have a history of trauma? Do you want to make changes in your life but feel stuck or unsure how? Through the process of counseling, my clients learn to better manage and cope with painful emotions, to improve their relationship with food and their bodies, to cultivate self-compassion, and to live a more rich and meaningful life based on their unique values.

My Background and Approach

With 15+ years of experience specializing in treating eating disorders, disordered eating, anxiety, and trauma in adults from diverse backgrounds, I'm here to help you develop resilience throughout your recovery process, to strengthen your sense of self, to improve your perceptions about your body, and to better manage your worries and impacts of past trauma and painful experiences. I also have extensive experience treating obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, grief, life transitions, and identity development. I take care to view each client through a multicultural lens and to infuse curiosity, empathy, and humility throughout the process. I use a collaborative approach to empower my clients to embrace themselves fully and to cope more effectively. I'm here to meet you where you are, to understand where you feel stuck, and to empower you to live your best life.
