What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I am here to listen and support you! When you are starting therapy, you get to make decisions about what YOU want- what you wish to talk about in session, how often you wish to meet, what style of therapy you prefer...I, as your therapist, am here to listen, guide, and support you! You are doing the hard work in reaching out and practicing what we talk about, and therefore, you are the one making positive changes in your life!
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Choosing to start therapy or medication management takes courage, but it is so rewarding! I would be honored to be by your side during your mental health journey.
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a private psychotherapy and medication management practice. (In other words, I am both a therapist and a psychiatric medication prescriber.) My areas of specialization include eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and life transitions.
I practice using several modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, adolescent-focused therapy for eating disorders, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and compassion-focused therapy for eating disorders.
