CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT. Your life’s not working the way you'd like? Find out why and change it. - Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, addictions (substances or behaviors)? These are some of the special areas where I can help.

For over 20 years, I have practiced as a licensed psychotherapist and nutritionist specializing in eating disorders and body image. My objective is to provide a compassionate atmosphere for individuals to explore and express themselves safely and confidentially.

I believe everyone can be helped when motivated and understanding the methods to change. People fall into habits, but with the newest research in neurobiology, we understand how the brain and emotions can be changed effecting personal growth and relationships.

I believe the "fit", or connection, is crucial for successful therapy. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental setting which fosters clarity and insight and creates the conditions for growth and healing. I use a flexible interpersonal and developmental approach.

I focus on helping you (and those in the room- if applicable) deepen and explore your relationships from what you may carry with you; our work can create new chapters and new meaning through a collaborative and empowering approach that fosters autonomy.

We all have moments when we feel lost, stuck, or just plain overwhelmed. I believe that a warm, trustworthy, and non-judgmental ear, along with the tools and techniques that I can provide, will help move you towards feeling more in control of your life.

My interest is to help relieve your distress and to help you achieve a better sense of well being in a safe private setting. Contact me for a phone consultation and let's talk. Let's work to discover your path for restoration and growth.
