I work with adolescents and adults on a range of concerns, with a particular interest and specialization in eating disorders, exercise addiction, body image, low self-esteem, OCD, and anxiety. I also have extensive experience helping people who feel caught in cycles of overthinking and worrying, who are highly self-critical, or who struggle with a persistent feeling that they’re not ‘good enough’.
While having a space to talk and feel heard is important, I also want you to leave our sessions with skills or takeaways that you can use in your everyday life. Our goal isn’t to eliminate every difficult thought or feeling, but to help you feel less controlled by them and more able to live life in ways which are meaningful for you.
I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, and ERP, DBT/ RO-DBT, and FBT, tailoring treatment to your needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to your distress and work toward developing more helpful and flexible ways of responding.
Outside of the office, I enjoy sympathizing with other Minnesota sports fans, reading books I won’t finish but still buying more, as well as playing chess (which I argue is a sport).
