I work with clients who are completely new to therapy, and I also work with clients who’ve been through this whole thing many times before.  Either way, I am confident that I can help you take steps towards feeling better.  I draw from many types of therapy – Relational, Dialectical-Behavior, and Emotion-Focused, to name a few – in order to form a relationship with you that is effective and supportive.

Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety or depression in addition to anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating.  I also work with family members who are caregivers or support people for a loved one who is hurting.  I strongly value this work, as I am conscientious of how difficult it can be to provide support and limits to those we care about.  When my client needs a higher level of care or an outpatient team, such as a dietitian or psychiatrist, I am well connected to community resources and I can help coordinate needed treatment.

I have a BA from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, and my MSSW from The University of Texas at Austin.  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker – Supervisor and I have been practicing since 2012.

I also run a long-term process group for individuals who are considering, or who have had, bariatric surgery. This is an eating disorder informed, body neutral group for adults. See more information on my personal website.
