Young people often have a mistrust of people in the helping profession because many are too cerebral, too impersonal and too disconnected from their reality! I have been working with young people not by accident but because I enjoy working with them. High-school and college aged students are real and I appreciate how honest they are with what they think and feel and need. I keep therapy on the lighter side not as a strategy, but because it's who I am as a person. I am a rare therapist in t...

Finding a new therapist can be hard. I believe that the most important part of therapy is having the right fit with the right therapist. In order to be open to the process you have to feel comfortable with your provider. Consider your first session an interview to see if we will work well together. Therapy should be a tool to find personal strengths and develop new resources. I believe that my years of experience have taught me what works and how to navigate when someone is stuck. I hope that I ...

My therapeutic approach is direct and compassionate. Patients often tell me that I “keep it real.” I tend to be more vocal than traditional therapists. I seek to help my patients better understand their experiences by considering family of origin, core beliefs, values and cultural influences. 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...
