I am a native Northern Virginian and am personally well-versed in understanding the high pressure and demands of living in the DC Area.  I graduated with my Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marymount University, and am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia and Washington, DC, and licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Maryland.

Working with teens and adults with eating disorders has always been my greatest passion and strength. I have more than 11 years of experience as an eating disorder therapist, working in many local treatment centers at all levels of care. I love helping clients disengage with their eating disorders and embrace the challenges and freedom that comes with recovery. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), you can be confident that my process is rooted in best practices for treating eating disorders. I also have extensive training and experience working with parents of clients with eating disorders, to help them engage effectively with the treatment process of their loved one. 

I have a fondness for working with young adults who are navigating the world on their own for the first time, and all the excitement and pressures that come along with it – dating, work-life balance, managing relationships with families, and self-care. 

 I am a board-approved supervisor in the state of Virginia, and provide supervision to new clinicians pursuing licensure. I am also an approved supervisor through the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP) for licensed clinicians seeking certification to become a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist .
