Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals in eating disorder recovery, recovery from disordered eating, or who are struggling in their relationship with their body. I hope to be a partner in your recovery journey, offering support and skills. You don't have to identify as having an eating disorder (or believe you are "sick enough") to want a more peaceful relationship with your body. Recovery is always possible, even though it is more complex and complicated than ever. There is an overwhelming amount of information about health, wellness, and recovery- I am here to help you sort through the noise and find what works for you!

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Transitions in life and work can bring both possibility and uncertainty. You may be preparing for a new chapter, weighing an important personal, career, or financial decision, or struggling with a sense of being stuck. You may also be considering how to create a life that feels more fulfilling, sustainable, and aligned with your values. The decisions you make and circumstances you face during such periods can meaningfully shape what comes next. Although these moments can be stressful, they can also invite deeper reflection on identity, relationships, mental health, and how you want to live. You do not have to work through them alone.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
At the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, we believe everyone can benefit from therapy. From the time we’re young, we’re taught how to take care of our physical health and our bodies, but we’re not generally taught how to manage our thoughts and emotions so we can take care of our mental wellbeing. Many people never seek psychological help, and others may only seek it when they are experiencing a crisis. We aim to change this. We believe that investing in your psychological health is essential to overall wellbeing, no matter your life circumstances. Life is challenging, and everyone can use support. We believe in providing care across the spectrum of psychological health, and in fostering mental and emotional wellbeing in addition to treating mental illness. We believe strongly in providing only evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapies: therapy that has proven to be effective through copious research studies. We also employ only doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in providing these evidence-based services.

I regularly measure progress to ensure therapy is focused and effective, helping you feel better while gaining insight and skills to maintain your progress long after therapy ends.
