About Me

My work, in all its phases, is dedicated to eating disorder recovery.

My private practice in Los Angeles is open to adults who want freedom and full recovery from their eating disorder. They want a life in which they can experience joy and follow their genuine talents and desires. They want
to shed or transform destructive relationships and develop relationships based on love and earned trust.

I am a psychotherapist. I work with individuals in a private garden setting
where we find our way to the person's unique recovery path. As eating disorder symptoms fade the emotional, psychological and environmental needs for the eating disorder emerge. The work then turns to understanding and supporting new strength and health. And then turns again to understanding and supporting courageous new steps into a more worthwhile life.

This is satisfying and gratifying work for us all.
