After living and working in UT for 17 years, I have relocated to CA and am providing telehealth, with in person visits every 6 weeks. I have 20 years experience treating eating disorders and work within multidisciplinary teams to provide a high level of care, outpatient. My practice has consistently been 95+% eating disorder clients, who also present with anxiety, depression, self-harm and related behaviors, PTSD and/or relational trauma. I approach eating disorder treatment with a strong focus on both physiological and emotional recovery, and am able to treat those with mild to severe eating disorders within the outpatient setting. As an equestrian, I also am interested in working with athletes from a variety of sports, specifically looking at how anxiety, and potentially past trauma, impacts performance. This area of my practice takes a particular focus on body-centered psychotherapy, looking at the relationship between mind and body as related to performance. I have a real, direct, and honest approach with clients. When you first meet me, you might be surprised by my casual appearance and manner of speaking. My focus is on my relationship with you, and combating your eating disorder and/or trauma. I will aggressively confront your eating disorder while providing caring support to you as the individual with an ED.
