My specialties are: ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) for trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, parenting, coping skills, women's issues, grief/ loss, eating disorders (anorexia/bulimia/emotional eating), exercise addiction, spiritual formation, relationships and managing chronic health.
Hi, I have been in the Mental Health field for over 30 years and have been counseling for over 12 years. I am very passionate about encouraging individuals through their own, unique journey of healing. Life is full of ups and downs and we all experience some degree of hardship and disappointment. Yet, there are times the hurt can become so intense it forces us to need extra support and guidance! I believe the counseling relationship should be built on trust, acceptance, respect and genuine concern. There is always hope and I am here to help you find it. You are worth it!

I describe myself as an "individualized therapist" because I utilize different evidence-based techniques from different theoretic orientations to help my clients because using and applying one theory and one technique does not help a client. A therapist must utilize different modalities and constantly think outside of the box to help his or her clients. Not only that, I believe in collaborative teamwork, and an interactive approach with my clients to get the help that they are seeking. I encourage my clients to give their input, and opinions to give them only the best. If this is what you are seeking, contact me.

My approach is rooted in a holistic perspective, where I consider your interests and strengths beyond the symptoms you may be experiencing. I firmly believe that therapy should be individualized and collaborative, tailored to meet your unique needs. As a certified hypnotherapist, I leverage various techniques to ensure a personalized experience, including the application of interpersonal neurobiology. Therapy is a profoundly cathartic journey, one that may require us to confront challenging experiences and navigate through difficult emotions.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** ***I am also credentialed to do video therapy*** For more info check out my website and media interviews. I do not believe there is an ideal client. In my years of work I have encountered many people with many reasons for why they are the way they are. What I know is that if you are open to the process, we can figure it out. Most of my clients are nervous when they come for the first time, and rightfully so. It's anxiety provoking to talk to a stranger about your "stuff." Despite that hesitancy they overwhelmingly experience relief and begin to see a path forward after we start our work together.

Eating Disorders Therapists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
