I work with the immediate problems you face in your life at the present time but I also will go back to your childhood to see if there is anything there in your experiences that has contributed to or caused any of the problems you face in the present. I will help you connect any hurtful ways you learned to think of yourself and then help you change them, also changing your relationship to yourself, food, your body image and your relationships. I also will help you work with other professionals who can contribute to your understanding, health and growth, including nutritionists, psychiatrists and general MD practitioners. I do this with the understanding that you already know a great deal about all of this but will be working with me in a new mode from what you possibly may not have done before. I invite you to call or email me and ask any questions you have of me and the work we would do together. I would look forward to working with you on your path towards health and being the person you want to be.

In both Oakland and Walnut Creek, I have a network of these professionals and programs established.
