I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in working with adolescent and adult women around issues of personal empowerment and growth. My practice is a place where you can take a time out. Take a break from the demands, the roles and the challenges of living, so you can reconnect with yourself and explore on your own terms.
I help women with chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I also specialize in working with women who struggle with disordered eating and body image concerns. This includes the entire spectrum of problems people have related to food and weight (e.g., overeating, chronic stress, body image issues, low self-esteem, compulsive eating, restricting, binging, purging, and anxiety).

Services
I am interested in getting to know you and working with you to help you resolve problems and remove obstacles that keep you from doing those things you want to do in your life. I have experience treating individuals who have relationship concerns, high stress, depression, anxiety, and other client concerns including, gay and lesbian issues.
We strive to take the focus away from persistent thoughts about food and weight and exercise and instead focus on the true self, separate from the imbalanced thoughts & behaviors related to disordered eating. I take the stance that this imbalance has resulted from an effort to cope. That in an effort to soothe anxiety, banish loneliness, or exert control, clients have become over-dependent on food & exercise.
People who struggle to accept themselves & their bodies the way that they are. Those women & girls who have learned that they are not okay the way that they were born, the way that they grew, the way that they are now. Those who in an effort to manage the feelings of guilt & anxiety cope through the overuse or under use of food & exercise.
This is a call to artists interested in creating a work related to body acceptance, contrasting the cultural trend of idealizing only one body type. Our goal is to use the healing qualities of art as a means to raise awareness around self-acceptance and the connection between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating.
