I find it exciting and a privilege to work with adults and adolescents seeking more emotionally contented lives. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist, but also use other treatment modalities such as family therapy, art and talk therapy. My therapeutic philosophy embraces the belief that recovery is a gift, an opportunity to evolve and create a meaningful, contented life.

In addition to providing general counseling services for depression, parenting skills, life transitions, anxiety, and adjustment issues, I treat persons with eating disorders and emotional overeating. (I have treated women and men with eating disorders since 1978.) Approximately 75 percent of my clinic clients have disordered eating, emotional overeating, dual addictions, or dual diagnoses.

I have been in private practice since 1981. Prior to that, I worked in the social work department of a teaching hospital, focusing on adolescents and pediatrics. I have also served as director of social services in a rural hospital, consultant to two inpatient treatment facilities, and clinical director of a maternity home.
