About

Major life events, both positive and negative, can require emotional adjustments that take us by surprise. Even desired life changes like parenthood, marriage, and graduation can lead to unexpected feelings. Current research on attachment confirms that humans are more resilient in the face of major life change and trauma when they feel understood and supported by another. I use psychotherapy and EMDR in my practice. In therapy I am direct, but I provide the empathy and compassion that we all need. My patients feel seen by me and in turn, seek out other fortifying relationships.

Amidst the joy of being a new parent, one can feel bewilderment and self-doubt, sometimes desires and disappointments from childhood. Together we can understand your child's behavior and develop insights into your parenting. Our work will help you develop tools to be a more effective and gratified parent.

Disruptions in healthy development can occur during childhood and adolescence. Left untreated, mental health problems persist into adulthood. Eating disorders occur when the path towards healthy development goes awry. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with eating disorders using Maudsley family based treatment, CBT, and a multidisciplinary team approach.
