I work with people trying to lose weight from compulsive overeating such as binge eating. I do not work with anorexia or bulimia however. Many times the overeating is grouped along with other addictions such as drinking, smoking, shopping, gambling or drugs. Please don't hesitate to ask how I might be helpful in this area. I approach this work from a behavioral and cognitive viewpoint - but also work to get to the underlying reasons for the overeating to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and nutritional guidance to address the emotional and psychological aspects of disordered eating.

Through tailored support, patients gain the tools to manage symptoms and embrace a balanced, fulfilling life.
