As an eating disorder therapist, my work is grounded in a person-centered, Health At Every Size (HAES) approach. I integrate both psychodynamic and behavioral (ACT, DBT, CBT, etc).

Finding a therapist who feels like a good fit can matter as much as the therapy itself.

I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with a background in both clinical mental health and higher education. Before returning to full-time clinical work, I spent many ye...

Have you felt overwhelmed by emotions that you find yourself unable to verbalize what they are and cry or panic in replacement of it? Do you reminisce on the past, moments that you wish you could “go back in time and do differently with what you know now?”. Or perhaps felt invalidated by those around you because communication is difficult or even scary. As a POC, I know deeply what it means and feels like to be taught to hide your emotions and reactions for the sake of family or experience the s...
