Welcome

I am a clinical psychologist in Richmond, Virginia. I am committed to providing therapy that helps individuals live a meaningful life, learn new skills to respond to challenging thoughts and feelings, and engage in more effective behaviors.

My Services Get in Touch

Most of us find ourselves feeling stuck at some point in our lives as we face various challenges. I believe therapy should help you learn new skills to respond to challenging thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns in more effective ways so that you can live a life that is consistent with what really matters.

I work with adults, adolescents, children and their caregivers to address a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I specialize in the treatment of eating and weight related problems. This includes working with individuals who have eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating), dissatisfaction with their appearance, and other unhealthy eating patterns and beliefs.

I also work with people seeking weight loss treatment and/or conduct pre-surgical evaluations for weight loss surgery. I am experienced with a wide range of medical problems (e.g., diabetes, weight concerns, infertility) and the psychological difficulties associated with these problems.

I have training and experience in many forms of evidence based treatments including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Based Treatment for Eating Disorders (FBT), and Acceptance Based Behavioral Weight Loss Treatment (ABBT).

Therapy experiences are uniquely adapted based on my client’s goals. My approach is practical, active, and hopeful.
