My Ideal Client

My ideal client is motivated to see change. I can take it from there! Couples and Individual Therapy Anxiety Depression Difficult Life Transitions Emotional Eating Binge Eating

My Background and Approach

I take a creative and collaborative approach in my practice, researching new techniques and information to help you make the changes you desire. My clinical focus areas include: relationships, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, and stress management. I work with adolescent and adult clients. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, and emotionally focused therapy as my main theoretical lenses.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have completed multiple years of training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy in Seattle, New York, and Portland. Emotionally focused Therapy developed by Dr. Leslie Greenberg, PhD, helps couples seeking greater intimacy, facilitates healing after an affair, and changes negative relational communication problems/cycles. With this approach, couples communicate their emotions effectively, create an intimate secure bond with each other, and heal from past attachment injuries. I have also studied under Dr. Susan Johnson's, PhD, Emotionally Focused Therapy Center in Seattle, Washington. I have many years of experience and training working with people struggling with eating problems and weight management. I have worked in outpatient, partial day treatment, and a hospitilazation level of care adressing complexities of eating disorders. I also work with clients who are just trying to develop healthier eating patterns and ways to cope with stress more effectively.
