I specialize in working with adults with eating disorders and disordered eating, and the conditions that often co-occur with eating concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I also have an extensive research background in chronic fatigue syndrome (sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis or ME/CFS) and have worked on multiple NIH-funded studies; I am aware of the unique challenges faced by individuals living with ME/CFS and other poorly understood, stigmatized health conditions. I provide evidence-based interventions that are tailored to my client’s needs and progress. I have experience working in eating disorder residential/day programs, university counseling centers, and community mental health centers. As a community psychologist, I also have a strong commitment to social justice, to working with those whose identities have been marginalized, and to understanding the impact of cultural/social context on mental health. I believe that establishing a collaborative, safe, and trusting relationship is the foundation of any effective therapy. In therapy, clients will learn new skills and strategies for coping with life’s demands and will gain insight into what contributes to and maintains unfulfilling behavioral, emotional, and relational patterns.

My therapy style is to meet clients where they are and provide a safe space to be their authentic selves through a culturally meaningful lens. I am passionate about supporting clients from all cultural backgrounds to overcome obstacles preventing them from being the best version of themselves. During our sessions, we would explore how your thoughts and past experiences trigger your mood-related symptoms. I believe a strategy for therapy should not be a cookie-cutter approach, therefore, together, we would explore interventions and coping techniques to meet your needs while utilizing your strengths.

Going through life's transitions and demands, or just needing to make some changes to feel better, can be challenging--you may feel stuck or depressed, anxious, or frustrated. Therapy's an effective way to get experienced help with moving in the right direction towards more fulfilling relationships and a healthier, more meaningful personal and professional life. A good partnership and authentic connection with your therapist are essential ingredients. Using structure, setting clear goals, and keeping your progress on track using evidence-based outcome measures are some of the extra ingredients my clients have found extremely useful in their work with me as they moved through therapy to find personal growth and enriched ways of living. During my career, I've worked with children and families, military populations and their families, and soldiers with traumatic brain injuries. Having lived and worked internationally for 7 years, I've also assisted Americans and other foreign expats with transition and cultural adjustment. I look forward to hearing from you!

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or feelings of not measuring up in some way? Is it tied into an eating disorder, body image, relationships, parenting, perfectionism, performance, major life changes, or substance use that has you feeling this way? Most likely life feels like a bloody slog, but it doesn't have to be. Nor do you have to do it alone. As a therapist, I don't judge and I don't tell you what to do. I'm a guide, educator, and motivator who will work as hard as you're willing to work so you can have a full, happy life. DUDE stands for Developing Understanding, Developing Empathy. The starting point is identify the real issue(s), how it developed, and how you treat it. That's "understanding." Then you have to "develop empathy" for yourself and the struggling. Face the issues, be courageous, ask for help. You can't break a stick in a bundle. Build your unbreakable team. I consider myself a "wounded healer," someone who has suffered from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and self-harm in my life. It affected my relationships, performance in all areas of my life from sports to music to school and work. I did the therapy because I was ready to do the work. If you're ready to do it too, let's get to work.
