s a therapist, I am open-minded, non-judgmental, empathic, and goal oriented. I enjoy working with men and women with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I specialize in treating all eating disorders, with special emphasis on anorexia. I believe that everyone can change, and the first step to change is awareness. I help clients to identify strengths in order to focus on solutions to life and relationship challenges. I have a holistic treatment philosophy based in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. I educate people on understanding their emotions in connection with their thoughts, bodily sensations, and behavior.
I believe in a team approach to mental health and value collaboration with past and present treatment providers to provide the most thorough and effective treatment. I focus on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy techniques in my practice, and I adapt other relevant therapy techniques to fit consumer needs.
