About My Clients
My clients struggle with BPD, eating disorders, substance use, and women's issues. I often work with attorneys and physicians.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, body image, Borderline Personality Disorder, self-harm, and substance use. I completed psychoanalytic training through the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and Psychology in the Eating Disorders, Compulsions, and Addictions (EDCAS) Program. I also completed the advanced clinical supervision training program through Smith College School for Social Work. I am a faculty member at Smith School for Social Work and Sarah Lawrence College where I teach eating disorders as a social justice issue. My approach is primarily psychodynamic but combines aspects of self-psychology, feminist/womanist theories, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Seeking Safety, mindful self-compassion, mindfulness, and narrative therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My personal values include integrity, authenticity, empathy, diversity, equity, inclusion, humor, education, and humility. I use a health at every size framework in all areas of my work, as well as an anti-diet approach. I also value Womanist/Feminist and Eco-Womanist perspectives in my work. I believe in disability justice, gender affirming care, as well as anti-racist work.
