About My Clients
If you struggle with an eating disorder, or if worrying about food, eating, weight and shape feel like they have taken over your life, I can help you regain a sense of balance and ease around these issues. I use evidence-based treatments that have been shown to help clients obtain lasting change. Ultimately, my goal is to help you overcome the eating and weight-related rules, stress, and negativity that hold you back so that your life can be filled with more freedom, joy, meaning and peace.
My Background and Approach
I have a PhD in clinical psychology and have spent my entire career working with clients who struggle with eating disorders. I received specialty training from world-renowned experts in the field at various universities, hospitals and medical centers across the U.S., and I use evidence-based treatments that have been shown to be effective for eating disorders. In your work with me, we will use tools from these treatments to identify the specific eating disorder symptoms and concerns that show up for you, patterns and cycles you feel "stuck in", and spots for intervention and change. We will create a uniquely tailored plan regarding how you can work to create new ways of interacting, responding and engaging with stressors, events and life circumstances so that you no longer feel constrained and limited by eating and weight concerns. We will work to guide you toward the freedom and peace around food and your body that you deserve and have been seeking.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I base much of my work in a strong respect and admiration for the wisdom found in each of our bodies. Eating is--at its root--one of our basic survival mechanisms...Something that was initially and beautifully designed by nature as a way for us to nourish ourselves and give us the energy that we need to engage with life. In our modern society, there are many things that can lead us astray from our body's natural ways of interacting with food and eating. My work with clients is centered on helping each person rediscover their own path to a healthier, more nourishing and energizing relationship with food, their bodies, and ultimately, a healthier relationship with themselves and this amazing life that we get to live.
