I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in eating disorders, borderline PD, parenting, adolescents, and depression/anxiety. I work with individuals, couples and families in an active, caring, strengths based approach. I have advanced training in research based treatment methods such as DBT,and FBT that are proven to be effective! I combine compassion with evidenced based cognitive/behavioral interventions. I work to build collaboration with my clients and change lives by empowering individuals and families. I'm a speaker/group leader with the Eating Disorder Assoc of NJ and have appeared on CN8, WLTW-FM radio, News12 NJ.
I work with clients who have used unsuccesful ways of coping with their feelings and problems including repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, eating behaviors and self injury. I have helped these clients regain control of their feelings and lives and find the strength to make new choices and thrive.
I use treatments that work: DBT, CBT, Maudsley/FBT, etc - you deserve no less. These tools help you grow w/out blame and guilt. For parents struggling without "instructions" or individuals fighting an eating disorder, suicidal thoughts, etc, our nurturing therapeutic relationship can be the basis for healing and change.
