My passion lies in helping women develop a healthy relationship with food. This means working on the issues that lead to eating disorders, disordered eating, compulsive overeating, binge-eating and 'yo-yo' dieting. These issues may include relationship problems, depression, anxiety, obsessive and compulsive behaviors in other parts of your life, etc. Effective therapy for food-related behaviors also includes training to help you break the destructive and problematic diet-binge cycles, while learning to pay attention to your body's own hunger and fullness signals. Therapy is compassionate, nonjudgemental, and understanding.

My clientele are women from 18-75! At the request of the client, I will be happy to include partner/spouse/family/friends in therapy, when that involvement enhances her success.

In addition to working with a range of adult, adolescent and child clients, I specialize in guiding parents of children challenged by chronic illness, medical trauma or developmental issues toward the outcome of post-traumatic growth rather than post-traumatic stress. My research, presented at three conferences of the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies and others, helps to show that parents who take care of themselves create better social and health outcomes for their challenged children. I am licensed psychologist candidate, editor of the APA Div 39 monthly publication, and editor of the APA Div 39 blog at PsychologyToday.com. EMDR Certified. Former teacher. Former Outward Bound guide. Frequent school consultant.
