About Me
I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 30 years of experience. When you see me you will get:
An intake evaluation to determine what psychological issues are present
Treatment plan based on your goals.
Psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral, mindfulness)
Help with reaching your health goals, if needed
Referral to other providers as appropriate
My therapeutic style is to work in a collaborative process with my clients. I use a number of different treatment modalities and skills (mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy) in order to create the right kind of therapy process for each one of my clients. My goal is to connect with each of my clients and use an integrative, empathetic and goal centered model to help them find meaning and create change.
I specialize in working with people with eating disorders and health management issues. I also help others' create and maintain good health as a Health Coach. I treat individuals, 12 and older, seeking help for depression and anxiety and gender identity issues.
If you are contemplating bariatric surgery, please consider pre and post-surgical counseling. I use the concepts of intuitive eating to better connect people to their bodies and uncover what influences their eating patterns.
