I love working with college students because it's a stage of life filled with so much opportunity and challenge. At times opportunity feels exciting and fun, but at others it can be overwhelming and downright terrifying, resulting in all kinds of problems, and "symptoms". These pivotal times are ones where I can help you sort things out, figure out why troublesome feelings are getting triggered, and help you to move forward. I take an "integrative" approach with all of my clients, which means th...

You put on a brave face for others saying, "I'm fine", suffer in silence and hope time will make things better. The only emotions that can hurt you are the ones you don't acknowledge. Unanticipated life events, relationship struggles, grief or things you "just cannot identify" cause you to feel anxious, isolated, angry, frightened, disconnected or unworthy. You are simply human, like the rest of us, wanting to feel relaxed, connected, engaged, inspired, confident and valued. I invite you to make...

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 an...
Young people often have a mistrust of people in the helping profession because many are too cerebral, too impersonal and too disconnected from their reality! I have been working with young people not by accident but because I enjoy working with them. High-school and college aged students are real and I appreciate how honest they are with what they think and feel and need. I keep therapy on the lighter side not as a strategy, but because it's who I am as a person. I am a rare therapist in t...
