About My Clients
I am open to using whatever treatment modality you feel will be most effective for you, but I have specific training in CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and ERP, as well as DBT, mindfulness, and CBT specifically for treating eating disorders.
My Background and Approach
I find that behavioral techniques, such as CBT and mindfulness, can be very helpful in addressing negative body thoughts and harmful eating behaviors. However, it is also beneficial to explore the root of these concerns more deeply. For this kind of work, I use a psychodynamic approach to discover how our experiences and memories influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also have experience working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I received my M.A. in Psychology from the City College of New York, where I conducted research on the relationship between disordered eating and depression in women. I then received my Ed.M. and M.A. in Psychological Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. I also completed a two-year training program at the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia in New York City, where I trained in psychodynamic and behavioral techniques for treating eating disorders.
