I am a licensed clinical social worker and supervisor as well as a certified eating disorder specialist - consultant in Texas, New York, and Massachusetts. I view therapy as a collaborative exploration, which requires both curiosity and trust. As a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist, I incorporate relational and interpersonal therapy along with mindfulness and intuitive methods to create a safe space and working alliance with my clients. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, identity issues, past trauma, disordered eating and negative body image, as well as chronic illness. My experience includes working with LGBTQ+ teens in the NYC foster care system, outpatient community mental health clinics, college counseling centers, as well primary therapist at an eating disorder treatment center, where I coordinated the adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program and facilitated a weekly parent support group. I work with clients to examine barriers to growth, difficulty with transitions, and overcoming fears to create lasting change.
