A Tailored Approach to Recovery from Food And Weight Issues
Do you or someone you know struggle in your relationship to food and body?
As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist, I look at eating issues from both an intrapsychic and interpersonal framework. Your relationship with food and body does not merely impact you: it affects family dynamics, romanic relationships, career aspirations and parenting outcomes. Your food choices and amounts send a message about your self estimation to bosses, friends and loved ones.
Are you sick and tired of continuing to battle against your body? Whether you are facing a clinical eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder, or struggling with repeated dysfunctional patterns relating to food, exercise and body image, I will co-create a personalized action plan with you that sets you towards revolutionizing current behavior and unleashes a healthier, happier you.
Eating is a family affair. As the former director of a residential eating disorder treatment center, I have expertise in treating food issues and body loathing, while triaging families in crisis. Children and adolescents take cues about food from parents, loved ones and peers. Often the entire family is in need of a reassessment of eating patterns. In these cases, I will gently work with you to get your family back on track. My approach is nonjudgmental and meet-you-where-you’re-at. Therapy is a journey that we are on together, and the goal is insight that drives behavioral change and an improved quality of life.
More than ever, societal demands place pressure on both sexes to maintain an unachievable physical ideal. Throughout the media, we see proof that Americans are obsessed with extreme food and exercise behavior. Our culture is obsessed with food: simultaneously glorifying and demonizing it. Learn to break free of the yo-yo of extreme eating and exercise behaviors, while finding balance and enjoyment in food, and love for your body.
I collaborate with the premier eating disorder experts in Fairfield County: registered dietitians, medical doctors and other specialists. I conduct comprehensive assessments of clients to determine a course of action that meets their specific needs and engage professional resources to support clients in their recovery process.
If you needed oral surgery, you would want a specialist to perform the procedure. Do not go to a generalist for help with you or your loved ones food and body issues. This is my field and my training is sophisticated and formatted to meet your unique situation.
Your life can be richer and more joyful. Your relationship with food and your body matters. You matter. I am waiting to take your call for a free phone consultation. Let’s talk change today.
