Treating Eating Disorders
Eating Disorders are complex, symbolic, and potentially lethal disorders requiring not only compassionate, but highly skilled care. Aside from working with patients in private practice, I have served as Clinical Supervisor at Montecatini, a world class all female eating disorder treatment center which has provided women 20+ years of care for bulimia, anorexia, and co-occurring disorders. Prior to this, I worked as a therapist at Harmony Grove Programs and Mandometer programs for eating disorders. This has allowed for familiarity with a great range of symptoms and severity. I have also served on the boards for IAEDP (International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals) and EDA (Eating Disorders Anonymous).
Alongside, my professional experience, I have had nearly 25 years of personal recovery from an eating disorder. I believe this allows for caring, empathetic support of those who feel shameful about their relationship with food or embarrassed by their body.
I specialize in the treatment of Anorexia, Bulimia (Including Purging by Laxative, Enema, Diet Pills, and Exercise) Binge Eating Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder and OSFED/EDNOS.
When you come for your first session, we will meet for a comprehensive assessment. Once I have a fuller picture of your symptoms, together we can collaborate to design a course of treatment that best suits your needs.
