My clients describe my presence as compassionate, warm, and insightful. As a therapist, I bring my skill set, life experience, and genuine and reflective self to our sessions. When appropriate, I like to infuse humor, creative expression, and embodied movement into my sessions.

I am not a blank slate therapist and I am very much with you as a practitioner. I like to keep my sessions open, explorative, and fluid. Sessions are often guided by you, my client, as I seek to honor your autonomy and allow your voice and wisdom to emerge. However, this does not mean that there is no room for structure. If you prefer, we can work in a more directive or structured way to help you move toward a specific goal. When appropriate, I will help you develop relevant resources and teach you new skills that you can take forward into your daily life. These skills and resources draw from both Eastern and Western Psychology and will support you to build and sustain the changes you are hoping to experience. I will also share personal examples from my life to support your process and understanding when appropriate. If you are working on recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating: I will work closely with you to define your goals for recovery, work with any ambivalence and fears that are present, and keep you accountable in the most compassionate way as you move toward building sustainable change, growth, and healing. I will also work closely with anyone else who is on your treatment team and help monitor your safety from a physical point of view as needed.
