About Me

Depending on clients' needs, I provide a combination of different therapeutic interventions, including EMDR, such as Mindfulness, CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), mind-body interventions, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Focused family therapy, HAES (Health at Every Size approach), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed treatment. Objectives for therapy are unique to each person, and so during the first few sessions, I work with each person to identify goals for therapy. During the course of treatment, I endeavor always to help people improve self-knowing and self-curiosity, to find their hidden strengths, and to restore balance to their lives. I specialize in two areas: · Treating individuals and families struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating · Helping individuals heal from the effects of trauma and PTSD.
