I diagnose using interviews and questionnaires, and prescribe medications for your symptoms. Regular therapy is crucial. Currently, I can't prescribe controlled meds due to telehealth limitations.
My hope for you is that we work through symptom reduction, address the underlying causes, and end up feeling more at peace with your eating concerns.

I have extensive training and experience working with eating disorders, and my passion is supporting those with binge eating and related symptoms. Most people I work with also may have co-occurring issues that we are able to treat simultaneously.
Together we will focus on identifying triggers, discovering new coping skills, and learning to be more intune with your emotions.

I utilize a person-centered and solution-focused approach with all of my clients. I want to meet the client where they are and provide tools for them to grow.
I place a great deal of importance on the therapeutic alliance, which is just a fancy name for the relationship between the two of us. Tons and tons of research show great alliances make for great therapeutic results.

Right off the bat, my number one priority will be making you comfortable. Therapy works best when you feel at ease, and your brain gets that you're in a safe place to explore what's been doing on and what you would like to create in your life.
Discuss anything that you find important or that is weighing on your mind. There is no topic that will ever be off-limits, as every facet of who you are is always honored, listened to, and explored with compassionate curiosity.

You will be respected, empowered, and challenged to become your ideal self and meet your treatment goals. My approach utilizes humor, kindness, and evidence-based/culturally-informed techniques.
