I've often been told that I'm a good listener, and I'm a sucker for a good story.

My passion is working with individuals with eating disorders, especially queer folks, those with co-occurring disorders, and those who have stepped down from higher levels of care.

I like to normalize that therapy is a process of trial and error. In some sessions, things will click; in others, things will feel unfinished. And while it is normal to end some sessions with things unresolved, we will learn what is most helpful for you and adjust over time.

Lots of questions! Within the first few sessions, we will likely have a better understanding of what is bringing you to therapy and what might be helpful. We will also discuss whether I'm the right clinician for you. There are so many wonderful providers with a wealth of expertise: I want to make sure you get connected with the best provider for you.

Healing, especially healing that really lasts, requires not only good emotional health but also good physical health, meaningful relationships, and connection with one's values. Because of this, I like to acknowledge all these factors in sessions.

I really value competence and practicing within my scope. I do not pretend to have expertise with certain diagnoses and treatments. If there is a provider with more expertise and more experience with your diagnosis or desired treatment modality, I want to make sure you get connected with them.
