Treatment Model: I am empathic, intuitive and interactional in approach and I seek to understand and develop a working alliance with each unique individual with whom I work. I draw from a broad background in developmental, cognitive, behavioral, trauma-oriented, psychodynamic and family therapy.

Do you – or does someone you love -- obsess about food or weight? Do you need to speak to someone trained to help you with these concerns? As a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Eating Disorder Specialist with 25 years experience working with people with eating issues, I have helped many families and individuals – adolescents and adults, females and males – address distressing and debilitating problems such as body hatred, undereating, binge eating, eating and purging, and other compulsive and addictive behaviors. I understand and work with the painful emotions – anger, sadness, fear, shame, guilt – that accompany these problems. In my work, I collaborate with physicians and other adjunctive professionals. Other services I offer include consultation, presentations, and workshops and free teleclasses for mothers with eating disordered daughters. My book, Dying to Please: Anorexia Nervosa and Its Cure is available through my website, EatingDisorderServices.net.

Treatment Philosophy: Therapy works best if you feel understood and supported by your therapist. I have over thirteen years experience working with people with eating disorders and many of my clients have told me that they feel very comfortable confiding in me. I use a combination of therapy approaches, each tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual client. These include cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic therapy, relational approaches, psychoeducational methods and addiction models to help you stop the cycle of your eating disorder. I was formally trained in the treatment of eating disorders. I created and ran the eating disorders program at a major metropolitan hospital, and currently work with individuals, couples, family members and groups. I run a free Saturday support group. I work with people suffering from bulimia, anorexia, binge eating disorder, and food and body image issues as well as other problems that often exist along side an eating disorder such as depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol addictions, low self esteem, relationship issues, childhood trauma and abuse, and more. My office is two blocks from a bart station, and my initial screening sessions are always FREE. I also have a sliding scale. Please call, email me, or check out my web site to schedule your free appointment.

Self Knowledge -- "Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your hearts' knowledge. You would know in words that which you have always known in thought. You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dream. And it is well you should. The hidden well spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea." -- Kahil Gibran, The Prophet

Although the Prophet says "you must know in words that which you have always known in thought" people who suffer from eating disorders need to be able to find "the hidden wellspring of their soul" underneath the bingeing, purging, starving, and dread of gaining weight. Our work together is the quest for self knowledge and the uncovering of faulty thinking (e.g. if I'm thinner, I'll be happy in every way), along with the battle to be freed form the tyranny of dieting and body hatred. Self knowledge and emotional knowledge are powerful, sometimes scary forces. That is why it is important to go slowly and hang on, even if therapy feels really difficult. I believe that creativity has a strong power to heal, and I use writing as a healing tool with groups and individuals.

Learning how to understand and express difficult feelings, developing ways to nurture oneself and getting the right support are all part of the healing process.  With the right support and commitment to change I have seen healing occur.  I sometimes coordinate treatment with an M.D., nutritionist or 12 step program when it feels right for the individual.  I also incorporate hypnosis, EMDR (I'm a certified EMDRIA practitioner), journal writing and dreamwork.
