My Approach to Helping
I help teens and adults who are suffering from all types of eating disorders and other general issues involving your relationship with food. This includes anorexia, bulimia, binge/emotional eating, extreme exercise and chronic struggles with weight management. There are often related issues including anxiety, obsessive compulsive behavior, compulsive shopping, body image and self esteem that I can also help you with.
My approach is based on building a trusting relationship with you. I believe that in order to best help you, it's important that I really know and understand you. In order for this to happen, I make sure I create an environment that feels emotionally safe. You will find me warm, extremely compassionate and totally non-judgemental.
I also offer Family Based Therapy (Maudsley) for families with a teen or pre teen suffering from an eating disorder. This has been found to be an effective and efficient treatment for many and I am happy to discuss it in more detail with you.
