individual therapy and intensive/residential programs. We make the types of
activities one would experience in inpatient and residential programs accessible
in the evenings and on weekends. Rock Recovery's program is not a substitute for
individual therapy, and not intended for those who are medically unstable and in
need of a higher level of care. Our program is ideal for individuals coming out
of residential, inpatient, and outpatient programs, and also ideal for those who
are "white-knuckling" recovery and seeking to be fully free from their
struggles. Our philosophy of recovery is based on research and the collective
experience of individuals who are living in full, long-term freedom from
disordered eating. It is our experience that recovery is possible when we step
into TRUTH, lean on FAITH, embark in SELF-DISCOVERY, achieve SELF-ACCEPTANCE,
live in COMMUNITY with others.

Treatment Model: I utilize a "non-blame" approach in my practice. I feel this
is important, as eating disorders affect not only their "hosts", but also family
members and friends of those struggling with eating disorders. I use a variety
of therapeutic approaches in my practice, but am probably most partial to
cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and family systems. I believe
that the "person is not the problem; the problem is the problem." In my work
with clients I like to emphasize the strengths, identity, and "uniqueness" of
each person. Simultaneously, my clients and I work together to lessen the amount
of time and space consumed by the "problem." I often provide family therapy in
addition to seeing my clients individually. At times when this is a conflict of
interest, I refer to other family therapists. When appropriate, I support the
Maudsley approach. I strive to provide a supportive environment for my clients
to facilitate growth and recovery.

Treatment Model: I have over 20 years experience treating anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, and obesity. I use cognitive behavioral techniques, family systems theory, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, to tailor treatment to help each client reach his/her treatment goals. When needed, I work collaboratively with a registered dietitian, psychiatrists, and primary care physicians. My primary aim is to help clients establish new coping methods so they can manage stress better, build self worth and ultimately give up their eating disorder symptoms. I also have extensive experience in treating trauma (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse), anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
