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.

The Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford is a national and international leader in the treatment of children and adolescents with eating disorders that include Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa and Eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS), including the female athlete triad. The program, which has been treating patients successfully for more than 30 years, is directed jointly by the Stanford University School of Medicine’s Adolescent Medicine Division and Division of child and Adolescent Psychiatry. As a major research center for the care of patients with a full spectrum of eating disorders, they provide the most advanced and most effective medical, psychological and psychiatric treatments available with the same emphasis on family-centered care that is the hallmark of treatment at Packard Children’s Hospital. Packard Children’s physicians were pioneers in bringing the successful family-based treatment known as the Maudsley Approach to the United States, authoring treatment models and leading research that demonstrates evidence of its effectiveness. Expertise in this area makes Packard Children’s an ideal resource for families looking for a center that will support their efforts to address their child’s eating disorder. Patients access care through the program's eating disorders outpatient clinic, or if they are in need of medical stabilization, through the inpatient Comprehensive Care Program. The combination of both inpatient and outpatient services in one program makes the Packard Children’s Hospital eating disorders program truly unique.
