I believe in looking at the identity of the person as a whole, that the eating disorder does not define who they are no matter how much it is on their minds.  Looking at the whole person requires knowledge of their mental/emotional health, as well as their physical and nutritional health.  I am an addictions specialist as well as a certified personal trainer and sports nutritionist; I studied these areas with great passion and interest because I value understanding these areas and feel each needs to be addressed in order for the individual to fully recover.  Please see my webpage at www.psychfitinc.com for more information about my philosophy and treatment approach.

I have a deep passion for working with those who are concerned about their relationship with food and their body. Many clients I work with are struggling to find comfort and balance due to sudden events or long-standing dissatisfaction with aspects of their life. While I believe every stage of life brings opportunities for growth, times of transition may bring uncertainty, conflict, and loss. I strive to be gentle and empathic, as I encourage clients to go at their own pace, to seek their own truth, and to find their own voice. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, interactive therapy relationship that aims to help people deepen their insight, break unhealthy patterns, and create more satisfying and fulfilling lives.
