We are taught from an early age to take care of our physical health—to eat well, stay active, and seek medical care when something doesn’t feel right. Yet mental health is often overlooked or minimized, even though it shapes how we think, feel, relate to others, and function every day. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Conditions like anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and chronic stress affect sleep, concentration, relationships, work performance, and long-term physical he...
Welcome! I help teens and adults with all types of eating disorders, disordered eating, mood and anxiety issues, and life transitions.

Do you have a sense that people don’t get you? Do you travel a different path than everybody else? Are you living your life very differently from what other people expect you to? Do people tell you that sometimes you are thinking way outside the box? Are your parents different from you and do they want you to be someone else? Life can be tough when you feel different. Different can also mean isolated, lonely, and misunderstood. It can also mean constantly asking yourself: Will I ever fit in? ...

It’s not easy to do, and therapy r...

Getting through each day pretending like everything is fine takes a toll, and you question how much longer you can manage by yourself. Perhaps it time to bri...
