About me
*Supporting adults and teens experiencing anxiety, panic and binge eating behaviors via virtual sessions. I have daytime and evening availability. Call today for a free consultation!*
Does worrying get in the way of day-to-day life? Are seemingly small tasks overwhelming? Do changes feel too much to handle? Is food a source of comfort for you? Does your eating feel out of control? As a team we can address these concerns, and more. I specialize in treating anxiety and panic and binge eating. You CAN learn new ways of tackling problems, improve your emotional wellbeing, and feel more confident with your decisions throughout your day. We will work together to guide you to self-compassion and a sense of peace.
I use a variety of therapy techniques when working with clients, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. Every individual is different, and I tailor my approach to what is most helpful to YOU. This is a collaborative process - you know you best, and we will work together to get you to where you want to be.
Clients tell me I am empathetic, calming, non-judgmental, real, and a bit funny. ;) There is a likely possibility my dog or one of my cats will join our video session. Please reach out for a free 15 minute chat and we can discuss what therapy might look like for you!
