In January of 1996, I began my recovery from my eating disorder. Helping others that suffer from the relentless addictions of compulsive overeating, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia is one of the most meaningful aspects of my work. Through a combination of insight oriented therapy, designed to uncover the root of your disordered eating, and behavioral counseling, we can make the kind of progress that will free you from the bondage of food addiction. I've been where you are and I know how hard it is to even begin exploring the possibility of getting counseling. I can promise you a judgment free environment with counseling that offers compassion and empathy.

Anorexia bulimia or obesity depicts the spectrum of problems associated with food and body image. Anxiety and depression can be at the root of the problem, but obsessive-compulsive disorder and an impulse to control ones environment can also play a part. In other words, an eating disorder is often a symptom of a much deeper issue and often involves an enabler. Eating disorders can be fatal as the person with the problem slowly becomes malnourished or dehydrated. This makes getting counseling essential in order to save a life.

Eating Disorders are are compulsions and acting out behaviors people engage in to deal with difficult feelings and beliefs. I have assisted many women and men over the years to work through the underlying issues that fuel these behaviors and to learn new ways to cope with difficult emotional states.
