About
I have twenty years of psychotherapy and clinical social work experience. I work with individuals, couples and families. My primary areas of focus s include adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, family and interpersonal dilemmas, professional exploration, and life coaching. I am very experienced in working with people who have eating-related issues, I.e. binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, obesity and pre-operative and post-operative bariatric surgery (WLS- Weight Loss Surgery) procedures.
The majority of my clients continue to work with me for “health maintence” purposes. In other words, primary issues are ameliorated and focus transitions to maintaining healthy coping skills.
I have been in private practice since 2002. I have also been the lead psychological editor for column in a national surgical journal, taught several collegiate courses as part of adjunct faculty, and maintained affiliations and memberships with numerous professional organizations.
My practice focuses on working through the issues at hand and to maintain healthy coping skills for self-awareness and personal growth in various contexts. I am straightforward and personable while keeping in mind boundaries. I will do my best to work with a client, however, it is ultimately up to the client to do the real work.
