Expertise & Approach
Biography
With three decades of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside thousands of individuals and couples. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and the deep wounds of complex trauma. But my true specialty? Helping you create a life that feels worth living. I believe you are the expert on your own life.
Â
My role isn’t to "fix" you—you are not broken. It’s to be your partner and guide, helping you clear the fog so you can see your own path forward through your weight management or oncology journey. Together, we'll untangle the patterns of worry, the weight of sadness, and the echoes of past pain that keep you stuck to heal the emotions connected to eating. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches (Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and trauma-informed care), we’ll focus on your strengths, not just your struggles. We’ll move from just surviving to truly thriving.
​
This is a collaborative, safe space where hope is not just a word, but a practical tool. Change is possible. Your brain can learn new ways of responding. Your relationship with food can heal. It takes courage, and I’ll be right there with you, every step of the way. Let’s write your next chapter.
