​My Approach as an Eating Disorder Therapist

I tailor my approach for each individual client, however I particularly enjoy using elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Health At Every Size (HAES). I also enjoy using exposure and response prevention for the treatment of OCD. 

I provide a warm, compassionate approach, while helping clients to take concrete steps towards improving their relationship with food, their body, and ultimately themselves.
 
Additionally, I take a holistic approach to treatment and believe that it's helpful to work as a team i.e. having a doctor, dietitian, psychiatrist etc. depending on the client.

In addition to individual therapy, I also offer couples and family therapy to help lessen conflict and improve relationships.

My passion and specialities are treating eating disorders & body image issues and OCD.

I love doing this work. I feel grateful to be able to help clients to find freedom and reclaim their lives.


*I am taking on a limited number of new therapy clients. If spots are full, I am happy to refer you to another clinician or put you on a wait-list. ​
