Struggling with an eating disorder can impact every area of one's life including relationships, love life, work and school. I believe that struggles surrounding food and body image have a great deal of meaning and provides many men and women with a way of coping with difficulties in one's life. My treatment approach is one in which I work with clients to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying feelings and thoughts as well as experiences which can lead to symptoms. I feel that this approach combined with the relationship between therapist and client will lead to a deeper understanding and discovery of oneself and free a person to live a fuller, happy, and satisfying life free from the grip of an eating disorder, as well as depression and anxiety which often accompanies the eating disorder. I have extensive experience working with adult, young adult and adolescent women with eating disorders at the Renfrew Center of New York. I also have specific training working wit h children and adolescents.
