My passion

I still love this work, thirty six years later. I am passionate about the potential of good psychotherapy, not only for those struggling with an eating disorder but also any emotional or psychological challenge. Too often, psychotherapy is inefficient and disappointing. In my own journey with a severe eating disorder, I had to be my own good therapy advocate in order to get myself healthy. I figured it out for myself and I have spent my entire career helping others to do the same. There is nothing better or more personally gratifying for me as the therapist and you as the patient than helping you get healthy. We can't always choose what happens to us throughout our lives but we can choose how we rise to it - that is the power of psychotherapy: an incredibly positive and empowering tool that you can carry with you out of the office, in to your life and for the rest of your life.

Empowerment

Yes, good therapy is highly effective! My goal is to educate and empower you and your relationship with yourself which is critical for recovery from an eating disorder, any trauma and for mental health and happiness in general.
