Professional statement

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#111091) in California. I have specialized in the treatment of eating disorders/ disordered eating, emotional and overeating, as well as body image for 16 years through both a clinical and research lens. I believe that all clients have unique strengths and are capable of creating meaningful change in their lives. I enjoy helping clients access these strengths while improving their relationship with food, body, and mind through identifying and connecting with values, learning healthy coping skills, and improving communication.

Our relationships with food, our bodies, and the world around us are complex. When someone is struggling with an eating disorder, or suspect they might be, it is recommended to speak with a specialist. My office is located in San Diego, CA but I offer Telehealth sessions to those in CA who do not live close to an Eating Disorder Specialist.

Starting treatment with a new provider can be difficult, no matter where you are in your recovery process. I am always happy to answer any questions, discuss treatment options, and help you navigate the process. I am in constant appreciation of the privilege to work and connect with clients. I look forward to hearing from you.

Message to clients

The recovery process can be a complicated one to navigate. While everyone's experience is different it can be helpful to talk to someone who understands eating disorders are not just about weight or food but more of a way of coping. I love when I am meeting with a client and helping them feel someone understands and they do not have to go through it alone. I want to create a treatment process that is meaningful and right for you.
