Welcome
Welcome to my private practice website. Whether you are looking for
professional support and guidance through a challenging life situation right
now or seeking treatment for a mental health disorder, psychotherapy with a
skilled and compassionate therapist may offer an opportunity to grow, heal
and change. Many and varied life circumstances lead a person to consider the
benefits of therapy. Therapy offers a wonderful opportunity to be heard,
explore and express feelings and perceptions, gain clarity and receive
support and guidance for desired change. As a mental health
professional, I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, eating
disorders, family and other relationship issues, chronic illness or pain,
and grief and loss. As a registered dietitian, I am also able to provide
nutritional assessment and counseling for children, adolescents and adults
with eating concerns, weight concerns or eating disorders. I have extensive experience in
family therapy and family-based treatments (FBT and FBT-TAY) for eating
disorders.
Currently, I am in the process of reducing my practice in both hours and clinical acuity as part of a five year retirement plan. Interested prospective clients should know that as I downsize, I am taking more out of office days than many mental health professionals. If you elect to work with me, it will be important that these absences and my coverage arrangements are ethical given your personal situation and understood and acceptable to you.
NEW INQUIRIES: If you are making a first inquiry about regular personal
therapy or nutrition counseling with me, please note that my practice is
currently full. Although I have had a waiting list in the past, I am no longer able to add to it. I will likely not be taking
new clients inquiring today for several months. You are welcome to call me to
inquire about possible future openings. It may take me a week or longer to
return calls from people new to me. Very nutritionally compromised
individuals and families in crisis are strongly encouraged to seek a
clinician who is available now or very soon.
Upcoming out of office dates:
2022: August 15-19, October 3-25, November 21-25, December 19-31
2023: January 1-January 9, February 27-March 6, June 5-21
