These focuses allow me to address situations effectively and creatively and impact the client's understanding of the core issues beneath the presenting problems such as anxiety, grief, change, depression and eating disorders.
Life sometimes lets us down and we feel pressured to keep going. We forget to give ourselves the same consideration that we give others and it leaves us depleted and lonely. Anxiety and depressive symptoms slide into our everyday thoughts and responses and we feel isolated. Medication cannot solve every problem, however, it can build a bridge back to better mental health and give you the breathing space to start responding to external stressors instead of letting them erode and wear you down even more. It's time to focus on you and your needs.

How many times have you felt unheard as a patient, especially when it comes to your mental wellness? Have you been offered medications that either don’t seem to be benefiting you or are you looking for other options? In medicine, for every ill, there is a pill. For every pill, there is a potential side effect. Sometimes it’s about the skills, not just the pills. With over 20 years in healthcare, the desire to treat patients better as a “whole” along with the COVID pandemic of 2020, I nearly walked away from providing care entirely. Essentially, I was fed up. My focus shifted to treating the mental health of patients & families.

Eating Disorders Psychiatrists
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviors, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behavior affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counseling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioral disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behavior, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognize they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behavior has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
