Eating disorders can feel hopeless, but they aren’t. Whether this is your first time seeking help or your umpteenth time, I believe everyone can recover.  Just as there are many reasons why an eating disorder manifests in your life, the way you recover will be just as unique. If there was a one-size-fits-all solution, that would perhaps be as deceptive as the problem itself. Whether it’s perfectionism, judgment, loneliness, self-improvement, health, fear, family issues…Together we will discover what invites these problems into your life and begin to find what recovery means for you.
I've been in the war zone of an eating disorder & come out the other side. Now recovered, I love working with others to discover their version of recovery & find out what is keeping them from living the life they desire. Problems don’t develop in isolation but they do grow there. Through conversations, we'll create space to discover your hopes & preferences.
Finding a therapist that “gets you” is super important & super overwhelming! It's like trying to find a pair of a great pair of jeans - maybe worse! To help, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation. Let’s talk! Eating disorders are strong, they need something stronger to overpower them. I want to help discover what that is for you.

Many of my clients have described me as the "anti-therapist," which is a description I wear with pride. I bring enthusiasm, improvisation, imagination & creativity into each session. My ability to think outside the nine dots & ask questions that others may not enable me to develop creative solutions with clients to help untangle what many would consider complicated problems.

Rooted in a desire for social change, my therapeutic approach is grounded in Narrative theory, an evolving set of ideas and practices, that embrace a collaborative, non-pathologizing, culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, liberatory, trauma-informed, and respectful approach to working with people, families, and communities.
