I am a licensed clinical psychologist and primarily treat eating disorders; such as Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder, as well as other eating and weight-related issues. Among patients who have a diagnosed eating disorder, there is a high rate of comorbid mood and personality disorders (Depression, Anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder, Substance Abuse). Typically, treatment involves targeting eating disorder behaviors and most often behaviors that also affect mood and overall quality of life. My practice philosophy follows a "non-diet, intuitive" approach to eating and managing ineffective eating behaviors.
