Treatment Model: For the past twenty-five years, I have specialized in the dynamics of Mindful Eating. The clients I work with are struggling to find a way to make peace with a chaotic and compulsive relationship to food and eating. Generally, this work centers on two levels: food for the body (which comes and goes) and food for the heart, the only kind that lasts. It's by mindfully becoming aware and familiar with craving and desire and all of its manifestations that clients begin to form a different and more satisfying relationship to food. I was the psychologist for weight watchers international for nine years, where I was responsible for developing their behavioral weight management plan. My book, The Zen of Eating: Ancient Answers to Modern Weight Problems, is now in it's 16th printing. I see clients individually and in groups. In addition, I am launching a three year Mindful Eating Teachers Training this fall which is based on the management and mismanagement of craving and desire. I am on the Board of the Center for Mindful Eating (www.tcme.org) and offer teleconferences are various aspects of mindful eating. I work within a large community of medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nutritionists and other specialists. I am trained both as a social psychologist and Vipasanna meditation teacher. Finally, I also offer consultation services to professionals interested in receiving a mindfulness perspective regarding their students and/or clients.

I am deeply committed to serving those who are struggling with food and eating issues. Helping people to properly feed their bodies and more importantly, their hearts, has become one of my most persistent life goals. I have worked with clients and groups throughout the Bay Area, the USA and internationally, exploring and teaching the basics principles of mindful eating. I generally run two or three mindful eating groups a year in addition to my private practice. As I noted above, I am in the process of creating and launching a three-year Mindful Eating Teacher Training Alliance (METTA) to train teachers (in a variety of professions) interested in mindful eating. This innovative program includes the function and power of food blessings, kitchen, shopping and menu meditations, the perils and promises of renunciation, dedication of merit, etc.

Treatment Model: I started working with adolescents since 1994 during my post-doctoral internship in New York. I believe that I create a supportive and safe environment around teenagers who are challenged with issues related to self and others. When I landed a job in an inpatient psychiatric unit in Berkeley, CA in 2004, I became more interested in assisting clients in their road to recovery from eating disorder. I use cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as my modality of treatment. In my private practice, I have also worked with both adolescents and adults with other underlying issues such as depression, mood disorders and trauma.
