I specialize in treatment for teens and adults with eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and emotional eating. My goal is to help you regain and restore your life to health and happiness.
About Me:
My work in the field of eating disorders began 26 years ago, when I was an intern at the Menninger Clinic. I found myself co-leading a creative arts group for individuals in the Eating Disorder / Trauma Recovery Program. As I looked around the group, I was so inspired by the gifted, creative, amazing individuals who were held completely hostage by this life-threatening illness.
Under different circumstances, these individuals were just like my friends, siblings, colleagues and mentors, and a desire was born in me to help individuals with eating disorders recover.
Through my years in the field, I have worked in all levels of care. This has allowed me to experience the issues and dynamics present at each stage of the recovery process.
I know that it’s often hard to have hope during the recovery process. I will hold hope for you until you are able to experience it for yourself again.
