I see individuals, Families and Couples while using an interactive and collaborative approach to therapy. I see individuals to help them with managing emotions, fears, sadness, depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, addictions, eating disorders, body image issues, creating balance, establishing hope and nurturing yourself. I will work on improving relational issues such as dating issues, recovering from a break up, and communication patterns. Learning to set healthy boundaries is key in any relationship. I want to empower my clients by giving them the coping skills they need to live a healthy and successful life.
I am a specialist in the treatment of eating disorders, body image issues and addictions. I work with both the family and the individual to work on symptom reduction, communication and the ability to set and respect boundaries within the relationship. Learning to trust yourself and trusting others is an important step in the recovery process.
I look forward to speaking with you and hopefully having the opportunity to work with you. I am recovered from an eating disorder. I am a former dancer, dance studio owner and enjoy working with dancers with eating disorders and body image issues. I have written a book called "TuTu Thin" which is for young dancers 12 - 22 years as well as parents.
