my approach to therapy
I aim to provide a safe, empathic, validating, and supportive space for my clients. I provide evidence-based treatment that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Family-based Treatment (FBT) principles. These therapeutic approaches have been shown to be some of the most effective treatments for reducing symptoms and distress as well as improving functioning. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach and individualize my treatment plan to meet each client’s needs. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic approach and work with my clients to help them optimize their functioning and well-being, and to achieve their life goals.

I provide individual and family therapy for adolescents, adults, and families with various concerns related to emotional and behavioral health. I specialize in eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and disordered eating. In addition, I conduct pre-bariatric surgery psychological evaluations to assess readiness for surgery and help patients prepare for bariatric surgery.
