I have been a therapist for 25+ years treating numerous psychological issues & age groups. My clinical focus/expertise includes: eating disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, relationship issues, severe trauma & grief/loss. My primary treatment approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (changing your thought response). My job isn't to fix but to assist you with learning positive/realistic coping skills, focusing on your strengths and offering constructive feedback to reduce the level of interference your struggles/beliefs have on you with an emphasis on acceptance, validation and empowerment at every stage of therapy.
I have successfully treated eating disorders for over 23yrs: anorexia, bulimia & BED. I challenge clients to break through these destructive coping patterns, learn to be vulnerable & expose their emotions. I'm an interactive therapist- I will give you feedback, and challenge your thinking/behavioral patterns to increase self-acceptance & self-knowledge.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) are unique in the manner that we view the entire environment vs. looking only at the presenting problem. Numerous events and people impact our lives, it is important to look at how you respond to these events as it relates to your personal struggle & adapting the therapy approach accordingly.
