I specialize in working with individuals with eating disorders, compulsive overeating, exercise and food addiction, body image and self esteem issues.

My therapy style is warm, accepting, and action-oriented.

My approach is integrative and holistic - I combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused therapy to improve upon and maximize health and wellness.
Change can be scary and uncomfortable, but it can also be very rewarding and gratifying. If you are ready to take the next step towards a better you, I am here to support and empower you to do so. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
