It’s common to feel uncertain about starting therapy. If you or your teen are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in unhelpful patterns with food, body image, or emotions, therapy can help.

My work integrates evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I also incorporate principles of intuitive eating and Health at Every Size (HAES). My goal is to help clients understand and respond to emotions in more flexible and compassionate ways, leading to lasting change.

Patients Residing in Ohio: I am in network with a number of major commercial insurances through Headway. Please Click here to see if my servies would be covered by your insurance provider.

Out of OHIO: I am an out-of-network provider, meaning clients pay for sessions directly and can request a statement (superbill) to submit for possible reimbursement. I accept HSA/FSA cards and provide transparent fee information prior to starting care. I’m happy to walk you through the process if you’d like to check your insurance benefits.

Length of therapy depends on your goals and the nature of your concerns. Some people notice improvement within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll check in regularly about what’s working, what’s changing, and how to best meet your needs.
