Eating Disorders Therapists in Birmingham, MI

Hi, I’m so happy that you are here! I am currently accepting new clients. Eating disorders , borderline personality disorder and trauma are among some of the diagnoses I work with in my practice. I believe therapy is a process grounded in feeling validated, understood, and connected with your therapist; this is why I favor a relaxed, humorous, and warm approach. Together we will uncover how outdated beliefs may obstruct your growth and inner-peace, and as a result lead you to live a more embodied and fulfilling life!

I provide a warm, accepting and nonjudgmental approach, emphasizing the use of evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). In addition, I have received formal training and experience with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have facilitated DBT skills groups and provide individualized DBT treatment to adolescents and adults. I thus focus on applying mindfulness and related behavioral skills to help clients learn to tolerate distress, manage emotions, and increase their overall coping ability and quality of life.

I have experience working with a full spectrum of diagnosis, however, i throughly enjoy working with eating disorder treatment, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I love working with clients who have motivation and willingness to work towards their goals, individually and as a team.

It is difficult for children and adolescents to find an environment in which they can openly discuss the struggles that they are enduring. I work to facilitate an environment in which individuals can feel safe, supported, and understood, tailoring the dynamics within each session to meet each individuals unique needs. I then utilize an integrative approach - founded in Evidence Based Therapies - to specifically attend to each individual's needs so that they can most successfully overcome the obstacles that they are facing in their lives.

I have been a practicing clinical psychologist for over 40 years and have specialized in the treatment of eating disorders for the past 35 years. I have maintained a practice in the Detroit area since 1988. Although I maintain a generalized (mixed) practice, I find treating individuals that are struggling with eating disorders a challenging and rewarding endeavor. The behaviors of eating disordered individuals are very similar but the issues behind the disorder are unique to each person.

Specializing in the treatment of eating disorders , mood disorders, anxiety disorders and relationship issues I provide compassionate, research-driven, innovative and individualized care. When appropriate I collaborate with exceptional providers in the area including physicians, dietitians and psychiatrists. In addition to individual, group and couples therapy, I provide assessment for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Treatment is provided in a warm, safe and confidential space in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

It is possible to feel better and make changes in your life. As a clinical psychologist, I can help you explore emotions related to current problems and teach you new ways of communicating and managing your feelings. My role is to help you feel better and increase your awareness both about yourself and the things you do. By increasing your understanding of past and present experiences, you can also improve your mood, your relationships, and overall functioning.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. You could be struggling with food and body image or maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive and undefeated outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.

You've gone to therapy before, but didn't notice much of an improvement. This is something I have heard from clients many times, and they are correct - talk therapy is often just not enough to recover from these symptoms. My passion is to fill in the gaps that I have noticed throughout my career as a therapist. Together, we will create a treatment plan using researched, evidence-backed strategies, while incorporating mind-body practices in order to build a meaningful life, even in the face of these challenging issues.I work with clients who are open minded, curious, and ready to do the deep, sometimes tough, work needed to recover.

My personal experience includes working in a variety of settings including inpatient, private practice, group setting, and community mental health. I have specialized training in Eating Disorders and Adolescents. My training includes supervision from a specialist in eating disorders , nutrition and body image for eating disorders , eating disorders with athletes, and eating disorders within adolescents. I also have experience with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, body image, and trauma. I provide an accepting and nonjudgmental approach to help you get to your ideal self. I aim to instill hope and ensure that you don’t feel alone.

EVERY human deserves a place in which they can feel safe, un-judged, and respected. Within that safety comes true growth, understanding, realization and acceptance for yourself and your story. I hope to walk with you on your personal journey in finding the grace and compassion to find your authentic self.
