My Approach to Therapy

Whether you are facing everyday challenges or big life events, it can help to talk with someone who can listen and respond with empathy. In our conversations, you can clarify what you can and cannot change, and how to move forward, whether you feel stuck or simply want something different. Through our work together, you can develop a deeper understanding, acceptance, and appreciation of yourself and others and learn better ways to manage the issues and emotions that concern you. It's never too late to have a happy life!

My Practice & Services

I offer a free 15 minute consultation.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

My role as a therapist is to guide you to better understand and accept yourself, to develop fulfilling relationships, and to create a life of more satisfaction and joy. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or for you and family members, having a safe place to talk is key. I am skilled at working with emotional eating and food addiction. These are complex issues -- it's not just about food. You have thoughts and feelings that contribute to the problem, possibly relationship issues, sometimes historical events that have been significant, and deep beliefs that you may not even realize are holding you back. I help you tease out and address whatever is keeping you from having a healthy, happy relationship with food, your body, yourself and other people.
