I take a non-judgmental approach and an active role in psychotherapy, leading clients through goal setting, building their own toolbox, and developing practices of self-compassion, self-care, and mindfulness. In psychotherapy I work with people or family member of people with • eating disorders • anxiety disorders • mood disorders • relationship issues • grief • life changes I use a variety of strategies and treatment approaches including • ​Acceptance and Commitment Therapy • Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment • Dialectical Behavioral Treatment • Exposure and Response Prevention • Family Based Therapy • Mindfulness-based approaches • Psychodynamic psychotherapy • Relational therapy When treating individuals with eating disorders, I use a treatment team approach. In addition to individual psychotherapy, treatment teams may include nutrition therapy, medical monitoring, psychopharmacology, family therapy, or other treatment modalities.

I provide individual supervision for psychotherapists and dietitians who want to learn the specialty of treating patients with eating disorders in an outpatient setting. The focus of the supervision includes: • decoding the mental processing and behaviors of people struggling with eating disorders • developing the strategies to help patients build their toolbox for recovery • using your treatment team • choosing the right level of care • clarifying boundaries in treatment • building a relational connection between the therapist and patient

I provide case consultations for people who: • are looking for a psychological assessment related to eating disorders/disordered eating • are newly diagnosed with an eating disorder and not sure what direction to turn for treatment • have an eating disorder and seemed to have stalled short of full recovery • have an eating disorder and are in crisis and are considering next steps for treatment

I co-authored a primary prevention program and have spoken on topics such as: • eating disorder prevention at schools, parent organizations, and professional conferences • eating disorder treatment at professional conferences
