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...
To those looking in, it looks like you have it all together. School is going well, you got the new promotion at work, or you’re just generally kicking ass at life. But if only they knew how miserable you are on the inside. It feels like life has become out of control, every day is a challenge and the only way you’ve learned to manage it, is by controlling your food, body, and exercise, to turn to substances or all of the above. You don’t like the relationship you have with your body and food, bu...

My goal is to provide relief from emotional distress, and to work with you through the process of healing. My therapeutic approach is str...

Imagine actually ENJOYING therapy. Imagine looking forward to therapy each week because your therapist "gets" you and works with you in a down-to-earth way to address your goals.

Starting therapy means that you've prioritized yourself and your needs, in order to achieve your best self for both you and those around you. Persistently worrying about the day, thinking about how others perceive you, feeling like the stress is too much, or wondering if your relationship is going to make it can be extremely overwhelming.

Sometimes one specific event can alter our lives forever; the loss of a loved one, sexual assault/abuse and rape, becoming the victim of violence and witnessing violence...
