I specialize in treating eating disorders.

I currently see clients at my private practice, both in-person and online.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: My approach to therapy is based on empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. I am offering my clients a safe place to explore their thoughts and feelings and learn new ways to cope with life challenges. My approach is eclectic, and I use different treatment approaches tailored to my clients’ needs. I use evidence-based therapy approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT). I believe that we all have our strengths that can help us in the process of self-growth and change.
