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...

To those looking in, it looks like you have it all together. School is going well, you got the new promotion at work, or you’re just generally kicking ass at life.

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...
