Hello and welcome to my website! I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice and specialist in the field of Eating Disorders and Women's issues.  I specialize in working with adult and adolescent women with eating disorders, disorded eating, body image issues, depession, and anxiety.   I also work at Ridgeview Institute as the Aftercare-Alumni Cordinator for the Women's Services.

I have been part of the Ridgeview Institute team for 10 years and have extensive clinical experience treating acute to mild eating disorders with women on an inpatient and outpatient level of care. I work only with women and a diverse clientele of women ranging in ages, ethnicities and sexual orientation.

I work in collaboration with my clients and use an empirically supported evidence based treatment approach (cognitive behavior therapy, Interpersonal psychotherapy with a multidisciplinary treatment team approach) for treating individuals with eating disorders and disordered eating issues.  Optimal care includes a multidisciplinary treatment team approach involving individual psychotherapist, nurtritionis, PCP and psychiatrist.  Numerous research studies indicate that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Interpesonal psychotherapy are the most effective forms of treatment for Bulimia Nervousa, Binge Eating Disorder and Eating Disorder NOS.  CBT is reguared as the first line treatment and addresses the psycholoigcal, familial and societal factors associated with eating disorders.  

If you are looking for specialized eating disorder treatment , extra support through a challenging situation, or you are ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you!  Please feel free to email me or give me a call if you have any questions, 404-983-3320
