THERAPY
Psychotherapy should feel collaborative and empowering. Whether we're working one-on-one or with your chosen supports, we will have clear goals and non-judgmental, compassionate communication throughout the process.

I offer services for eating disorders, disordered eating, recovery maintenance, perfectionism, issues of self-esteem and self worth, low mood, anxiety, support during times of transition and support for caregivers to someone with mental health concerns.  You can learn more about my services, fees and availability below. 

Before meeting in person, we can schedule a free phone consultation. This is an opportunity to answer questions you might have before making  a decision about the right fit for therapy/therapist.

​Psychotherapy is goal directed treatment that can address a variety of concerns.
I use CBT, DBT, MET, Attachment & Mindfulness based approaches to psychotherapy.
You may benefit from Psychotherapy with me if you relate to one or more of the following:
  • You struggle with change/transition
  • You experience low mood, anxiety, or panic
  • If you think talking to someone could help you feel better
  • You have concerns around eating, or body image and self-worth
  • You want help to maintain recovery/prevent relapse from a mental health concern
  • You need support as the family, friend or partner of someone who is struggling with their mental health
  • You need support deciding if you're ready to start making a change (motivational enhancement therapy)
Psychotherapy is typically a minimum of 12 sessions and can extend based on your needs.​
