I offer a warm and supportive way of understanding eating disorders like bulimia, anorexia, binge-eating disorder, obesity, "yo-yo" dieting--and their challenging patterns and emotions. Eating disorders are the primary focus of my practice, not just a sub-specialty! I work with people to help make sense of what causes, triggers, and perpetuates the various eating disorders, combining "the talking cure" with individualized strategies to help you understand and intervene in these cyclical patterns. I will not hand you a "ten-point program" or a "one-size-fits-all" manual for recovery. This is about uniquely YOU!

They want to feel good and build a more meaningful relationships with those close to them, and feel secure in the knowledge that they are okay and "good enough". All of these things are possible Sometimes, all that is needed is a fresh perspective through education, positive support and encouragement. Each person is highly individual and I draw upon years of experience with a variety of traditional and alternative therapies to tailor treatment to your specific situation.

I love working with children and adolescents. Before I get a history from you, I like to meet with your teenager to let them feel like they have a choice in picking their therapist. This gives them a sense of control and they are then more committed to the therapy. I will integrate the family as necessary. I have extensive success with children of divorce, those experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem and difficulty managing anger. I also connect well with adults and young adults dealing with life transitions.

Life is often complex and confusing, and the pain of trauma is intense. Trauma can be one event that scares you and makes you feel helpless, or a chain of them that teach your body that the world is not to be trusted. Anxiety is a daily reality and moving through life is like moving through a room full of carnival mirrors and moving mazes. Worry for the future keeps us awake at night. The past intrudes in our present, drives our behavior in ways we cannot explain, and leaves us questioning our own motivation and even our sanity. Thoughts can become so loud in our heads that rest is not possible.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy at my private practice on the Huntington Beach Hospital campus. Much of my work is with clients struggling with anxiety, dysphoria, or depression, or in their relationships with their romantic partners/spouses or their families-of-origin. I find strengths they've forgotten they have that can be used to defeat their problems. I use Narrative and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies and when working with couples I use Emotion Focused Therapy. Research has shown that 70-75% of couples who undergo EFT become closer and more intimate and 90% of them show significant improvements.

How do you ask for help when you don't feel worthy? It's an all too common dilemma for a person attempting to work through an eating disorder. Do you feel that no matter what you do, that you're still "not enough"? Do you watch yourself go through your day in an attempt to "not make waves" so that you can please others and avoid being judged by them only to end up negatively judging yourself? Going it alone isn't easy. When life is hard, it's nice to have a friendly face to turn to. Here, you'll have a safe place to leave your guarded secrets and relieve yourself of that burden.

Therapy is a transformational process. If you are having a difficult time, you are going to need help navigating the struggles in your life. Two of the most common reasons that people come to therapy are they LACK BALANCE in their lives and have NOT BEEN HONEST with themselves. I can certainly empathize with clients who are anxious about or even fear change. Ambivalence regarding change is a common human struggle. However, if you are truly committed to eliminating your current distress, I would love to help in your journey toward a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

In life, we often encounter challenges and painful experiences. With these challenges, you might have found yourself in a place of feeling stuck. Your familiar relational and emotional patterns of coping might not be as helpful as they previously were. Relationships might have become more difficult rather than life giving. As your therapist, my goal is to come alongside of you during this hard time in your life and guide you toward a place of peace and balance.

You deserve to be excited about the future, not scared, and I am excited to show you how to get there.
