Many people tend to bottle up their emotions because they believe that other people would just dismiss their problems. They also fear that people would see them as weak or as a burden. However, everyone should understand that seeking help is never a bad thing to do.

Trauma doesn’t break you—it exposes the cracks that already exist. If you try to outrun the pain, these unresolved internal conflicts fester into spiraling thoughts and emotional dysregulation. You may find yourself getting caught in self-sabotaging cycles, lashing out, becoming empty or numb, hiding behind perfectionism, escaping through food, sex, or substances, and feeling alone. Illusion-shattering experiences force you to confront conflicting truths, question your identity, and rethink what you believe. Therapy is an opportunity to gain a sense of self-authorship, to rewrite old stories, and chart a new course in life.

I offer short term or intensive psychotherapy, consultations on nutrition, health, psychological trauma, disordered eating and body image.
It took me many years of personal psychotherapy to recognize and understand the role of trauma in my healing journey. Trauma is the way your body responds to what was done to you. Whether it was verbal, sexual, or physical abuse or it was neglect or isolation, the result is the same....trauma rewires the nervous system leaving you fearful and never feeling safe. If you can relate to this, you're not alone. After 43 years of practicing psychology, here's what I've learned: nearly every psychological problem is rooted in some kind of trauma. Without addressing the underlying trauma, emotional problems never get resolved. I can help

Eating Disorders Therapists
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.
