"I am invested in helping individuals, families and significant other navigate the complexity of eating disorders, anxiety and depression. My philosophy is simple- to help individuals find meaning and balance in their life. "

"I view our relationship as collaborative, and it is my duty to help you facilitate the understanding of yourself, your experiences, your culture, and your relationships. Counseling does not involve listening to problems but listening for solutions. My counseling philosophy has been heavily influenced by cognitive behavioral theory and systems theory. I believe in identifying the relationship among one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I view the family as a system arranged around patterns and rules that dictate how the family and the individual members interact. While families are imperfect systems, they are our greatest source of meaning and connection."

I believe in exploring your strengths and values as a means of identifying and working towards your therapeutic goals. I also believe that the connection between your thoughts, moods, and behaviors is a key component of change. While I employ therapeutic strategies based in scientific research, I believe in the power of creativity and utilize books, art, humor, and other mediums to communicate and reinforce therapeutic principles. "

"After many years' experience as both client and therapist, I understand that the therapist works no magic. Nothing can be delivered or injected or swallowed that works a "cure." The resources for healing are already within the client; the therapist holds a metaphorical mirror so the client can see them better. So effective work needs two things: the initiative and commitment of the client, and the skill of the therapist in holding up mirrors. Still, the relationship must "click." Unfortunately, the ingredients for this are somewhat mysterious. You are the final judge."

"It's a privilege to be a part of one's therapeutic process and to bear witness to your successful and positive change.

"After the death of my 21-year old son due to a homicide, my life as I once knew it, changed forever.
