I
am a licensed psychotherapist with 30 years of experience treating
people with food, weight, and body image concerns, specializing in
binge eating and bulimia. I am passionate about my work. My therapeutic
style is interactive, sensitive and compassionate. My work is based on
establishing a relationship with my client that is safe, and one in
which trust can grow.
I view symptoms as a way of calling attention to unrecognized needs and unexpressed feelings.
I
see compulsive eating and purging as attempts to self-medicate anxiety
and depression. Obsessing about food and weight functions as a
distractions from life issues that are difficult to face.
I
am a member of the Association of Professionals Treating Eating
Disorders. I offer individual, group, family, and couples therapy. I
treat adults and adolescents struggling with disordered eating and body
image issues.
