I specialize in treating eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, chronic dieters, compulsive overeaters, and disordered eaters. I am currently nearing the end of the process to become certified as an eating disorder specialist through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). I have worked in both inpatient and residential settings. I use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as well.

I work with men and women who weight cycle from chronic dieting, under eat and binge.

My ideal client is someone who has been chronically dieting and feeling more frustrated, depressed and hopeless for their efforts. Let me help you find another way.
