I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience, specializing in the treatment of emotional states that get expressed through the body. This can include eating and body image issues, anxiety, and trauma. I also have extensive experience helping clients navigate personal and professional life transitions . I work collaboratively, with an emphasis on exploring one’s past as a way of understanding present issues and concerns.

I help individuals and couples make meaning from their experience and understand what they need.
