*Not accepting new clients at this time. The other therapists at our practice are accepting clients

I am a licensed psychologist that specializes in helping people change their relationship with food. I work with individuals struggling with binge eating, emotional eating or stress eating, and bulimia. I have a specific specialization in eating concerns and eating disorders with a binge component. I help people to feel less out of control when it comes to eating and spend less time thinking and worrying about food. Together we will improve your relationship with food and help you feel more confident. I also work with clients who have depression, anxiety, or trouble sleeping.

I completed my doctoral internship at Northwestern University’s counseling center and postdoctoral fellowship at Chicago Behavioral Health. I have experience seeing clients in private practice, counseling centers, hospitals, and medical centers.

As a Atlanta psychologist, I use evidence-based approaches while personalizing therapy to best fit the unique needs of each person. I focus on building a strong and trusting relationship with everyone I work with. I am a warm, empathetic, flexible, and honest therapist.

Therapy will be focused on helping you reach your goals. In the first session, we will talk about what you are working towards. Then, our sessions will be tailored to meeting your individual needs and goals.

You are welcome to schedule a consultation or appointment with myself or any of the licensed psychologists at the practice.

Therapy Approach

It may be hard for you to remember a time when you did not have anxiety. It might be even harder to imagine a life without anxiety. Being anxious could even be part of your identity, believing that you are just an anxious person.

On the other hand, your anxiety might have started more recently. There could be an event or situation that triggered it. It is also possible that it has recently started and you are not sure the exact cause.

What would you say to someone who is considering therapy?

Asking for help is a sign of strength. It does not mean your weak, it means you have the awareness to know when you could use support and value your mental health. We all could use support at times. You do not have to be “bad enough” or “sick enough.” Everyone deserves a space dedicated to their mental health.

We had the pleasure of Rebecca presenting for our school. Not only was it so amazing to work with her on the project, but her information was also impactful and relevant to our community. We appreciate her passion for her work, it shows, and this is why we will continue to partner with her.
