Thrive@stressmgt.netTreatment Model: While a majority of past research suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy is the best approach, the most recent research on the treatment of eating disorders suggests that a family centered approach is most effective. The newest research also suggests that the use of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is extremely effective when it comes to individual treatment. Therefore, consistent with current research findings, we teach DBT skills throughout the program, and we believe that the client's family should be involved in the recovery process if at all possible.

I have worked in a variety of settings with people of all ages who are struggling with eating normally. I believe that eating disorders serve a coping function for individuals, especially when they have experienced stress and trauma. That is, while they are not the most healthy way to deal with emotions, memories, or reactions, they do make the individual feel better in the moment. I work from a strengths based approach, meaning that I seek to build on what the person is doing well, while at the same time increasing coping resources that ultimately will be substituted in place of the eating disorder. I want to help my clients feel better and be healthy for both the moment AND the long term. In working with a client, I work holistically, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. I work collaboratively with clients, and seek to be a resource to the family.

Treatment Model: Because I believe each individual’s struggle with their eating disorder is uniquely different, I tailor therapy based on client’s needs. I strongly believe in a Client-Centered, Humanistic approach in which therapeutic relationships are of the utmost importance to the therapeutic process. I also integrate components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strengths Based Therapy to help redirect my clients distorted thoughts and ingrained behaviors in hopes of establishing alternative coping skills and more positive beliefs in ones self. In my approach to therapy, I also integrate components of Psychodynamic Theory, Feminist Theory, and Systems Theory. It is my hope to assist my clients in becoming healthy individuals, both mentally and physiologically, and serve as a source of support and encouragement for their families.

I seek to help clients integrate their own personal and spiritual beliefs into the counseling process. I would characterize my counseling as “spiritually sensitive” as I am aware of the centrality of body, mind, and soul. I am committed to, and hold as sacred, each client's perspective and prerogative follow their own inclination as they pursue their spirituality. My own spiritual journey is distinctly Christian as I have experienced Jesus as gentle and life giving. I have known Christ’s love to extend outside tradition, norm, and moral dictates. Healing has been found for me in a sort of homecoming of self-awareness in proper reference to the selfless love and acceptance of Christ. A spiritual perspective coupled with psychological understanding are a strength of my practice.
