My Approach to Therapy

Eating Disorders can be caused by a combination of factors including: socio-cultural pressures to engage in body-hatred behaviors, family background, childhood events, current life stressors, and even personality traits. I use a combination therapy approach which includes cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and psycho-educational therapy as well as addictions and socio-cultural models and mind/body/spirit theories. I use specific tools to break the cycle of dieting/bingeing/purging. In addition, I address underlying feelings and conflicts that supported the eating disorder.

Other Experience
