I believe we all have the courage and determination to meet even tough life problems. My goal is to assist with meeting these problems through gaining insight into the problems and the factors that perpetuate them. I focus on developing a useful way of understanding vulnerabilities, and on observing and gaining a greater sense of unique attributes. I also focus on developing behavioral steps to foster understanding and a greater sense of strength. This process can be hard, but it can also be hopeful, creative and rewarding. I specialize in treating eating disorders. I also work with painful problems arising from anxiety and depression, such as self-esteem issues, relationship issues, procrastination and work inhibition, feelings of emptiness, as well as ADHD, trauma and parenting issues. I have post-graduate training in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, as well as training in DBT and CBT-E.
