What do I do?

After Receiving my Masters in 2009 I spent the following 6 years working in residential, intensive outpatient and outpatient programs for eating disorder recovery. The following 6 years I worked in behavioral health and school based health centers. Gaining valuable experience working with teens and adults struggling with body acceptance, eating disorders, anxiety, phobias, self harm, depression, trauma and relationship challenges.

I work with couples and am currently in training with the Gottman institute (https://www.gottman.com) for couples therapy.

Active duty, veterans and families of service members are always welcomed into my practice. Before practicing as a therapist I gained valuable experience working with the military in various capacities. Having also been a military family member I am sensitive to the unique challenges facing military personnel and their families.
