About Us

I strive to provide efficient and effective treatment to meet the needs of each individual client while ensuring a warm, safe, and friendly environment. In addition to an inviting environment and a strong focus on outcomes, I value a collaborative approach and a strong relationship in therapy. Although I am the expert in helping people, you are the expert on you. This philosophy allows the client to feel responsible for his or her own successes and stay accountable for progress. My therapy is goal focused, fosters change, empirically supported, supportive, and incorporates an overall goal to attain balance and wellness. , I have helped many clients with the following: emotional eating, significant guilt after eating or not exercising, exercise addiction, poor self esteem or body image, above average desire to have a perfect body, perfectionism, sports anxiety, PCOS, anorexia, bulimia,binge eating, depressed mood, inability to control worry, and anxiety disorders. , My therapeutic orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy which leads treatment for Depression, Bulimia, &Binge Eating Disorder. I also practice Family-Based Treatment (Maudsely) which is a leading treatment for adolescents with Anorexia. I spent the last four years working at the Renfrew Center which facilitated my proficiency in eating disorders.
