If you are engaging in behaviors that you feel ashamed of, that you have tried to cut down or cut out but couldn...

With this knowledge, I believe, it is much easier to identify solutions and change harmful patterns of behavior. My specialties include treating eating disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa an...

That - and a lot of training - makes me a pretty good fit to be a therapist. My role is to listen, observe and und...
