About My Clients

It’s important to me that therapy is a safe place where clients can show up as their authentic selves and leave feeling seen, heard, and understood. Pema Chodron explains how I experience the therapeutic process, “Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”

My Background and Approach

I utilize methods and techniques inspired by compassion focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, somatic experiencing, DBT, and IFS. I specialize in treating eating disorders and body image issues (with a Health at Every Size approach), trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and general life stressors. I am able to see teens, adults, and couples.
