About My Clients

I love working with people with eating disorders because they tend to be intelligent, complex, driven people who accomplish so much once their anxious energy is channeled in an effective way. I enjoy working with people in their teens and early adulthood because establishing healthy communication and building a strong sense of self early allows people to enjoy their lives much more; however, I’ve worked with plenty of clients in adulthood to address their own path to recovery as well.

My Background and Approach

There are so many people who hesitate to come to therapy or to move forward in eating disorder recovery due to having been previously unsuccessful with a “one size fits all” approach. I work with you to figure it out. I’m not a smile-and-nod, sit in silence type of therapist. I'll call you out on your BS, but I can do that in a way where we can both laugh. I'm not afraid to talk about anything you need to talk about. Intrusive thoughts? Feeling like you’re the only person to feel this way? You’d be surprised to find that you’re not alone. Therapy will provide a safe space to be yourself and a supportive environment to help meet you where you’re at and work towards creating lasting change in your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in full recovery and a life worth living. I am HAES aligned and work with my patients to address societal barriers that interfere with the recovery process and worldview.
