Great to meet you!

I have over a decade of experience in mental health working at multiple levels including inpatient psychiatric Hospitals and residential eating disorder treatment, mostly with adolescents. I enjoy working with adolescents and find that appropriately applied humor can be the best approach.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a practical, straightforward therapist who believes that recovery is possible. I tend to use humor and relational examples to demonstrate points.  I am familiar with the use of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and use a varied approach to my work with clients.  I try and educate my clients on why I'm making the suggestions that I am as well as educate them on how the human brain works so that they can better understand themselves and their emotions.

One of my passions in my work is working against the stigma that surround mental health treatment. I will handle your care professionally and compassionately; whether this is your first time seeking treatment or you are just looking for a change.

For treatment of Eating Disorders, I come from a HAES-informed and Intuitive Eating background and will focus on the clinical reasons for and function of the eating disorder in conjunction with a Registered Dietician.

In our first session, we will sit down and review your demographics as well as major points that are affecting your life currently as well as the reason(s) you are seeking therapy.  I will ask you to do some baseline screenings and we will go from there as to what the course of treatment will look like.

Do I take Insurance?

I accept some New York insurance through Headway and also see clients who pay privately. We can discuss private payment, but see if I take your insurance through my profile here:
