Eating Disorders Therapists in Chicago, IL
I’ve worked with clients dealing with mood and anxiety disorders, emotional distress, trauma, chronic stress, eating disorders and body image concerns, relationship struggles, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

I believe that our problems can be linked to frozen patterns and cycles we have learned to protect ourselves. I passionately believe that you are not your problem, but rather these persistent patterns are to blame. I have found that the key to breaking these patterns and unlocking our potential is through the courage to be emotionally vulnerable with others while cultivating compassion toward ourselves. While I help people get “unstuck” from a variety of issues, I specialize in helping individuals and couples with religious trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, eating disorders, and relationship issues.

Many folks I work with struggle with anxiety disorders or eating disorders.
Are you looking for a therapist who is warm and caring, but also actively supports you in making necessary changes? I show up to sessions ready to listen and hold intense emotions. Through our conversations we will identify your hopes, fears, and stuck points. We will then work together to move you towards the life that you dream of. We will co-create homework, so that you can take what we discuss and practice it in your day-to-day life. Your homework might be reaching out to an old friend, or breathing through an urge to yell at your children, or taking that first step on a project you’ve been dreaming about for years.

I work with a range of problems including depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and addictions.
Having practiced psychotherapy and counseling for the past 25 years, I work to form an empathic relationship with clients and form a collaborative understanding of the difficulties that brought them to therapy, and how to best solve them. The goal is to find more satisfying relationships and fulfilling ways of being in the world. I work primarily from an Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) framework, although I have been trained in a variety of different psychotherapeutic methods. EFT is an empirically-supported approach that is flexible in that it allows the integration of other methods and techniques when necessary.

I also have a specialty in working with people with eating issues including anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, body image issues and weight loss.
I aspire to listen, understand, and guide each person I treat through the problems that are getting in the way of feeling more happy and fulfilled.

This two-pronged approach is helpful in order to cope effectively with similar problems as they arise in the future.
