My therapeutic approach is direct and compassionate. Patients often tell me that I “keep it real.” I tend to be more vocal than traditional therapists. I seek to help my patients better understand their experiences by considering family of origin, core beliefs, values and cultural influences. With this knowledge, I believe, it is much easier to identify solutions and change harmful patterns of behavior.

My specialties include treating eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, with a particular focus on working with adults coping with co-occurring addiction, mood and food disorders. I have 10 years of experience working with individuals, families and groups in higher levels of care and outpatient settings.

Common themes I work with include establishing healthy boundaries, self care routines, forming identity, improving body image and self image overall, increasing autonomy and conflict resolution. I believe that we all currently possess the abilities we need to be successful in the ways that we want. Our work is simply to uncover that which already exists.
