I understand that eating disorders affect the whole person, including mind, body, family, community, culture, values and spirituality.  While working in a private individual practice, I will coordinate treatment efforts with other medical and mental health professionals to provide a comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment approach.  After an initial evaluation, an individual treatment plan is developed which may involve consultation with any of the following professionals: a dietitian, a medical specialist, a psychiatrist, a family or group therapist. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that the complex circumstances that contributes to eating disorders are addressed in the most effective and efficient manner possible.  As a crucial member of the treatment team, the client will help direct their course of her own treatment based on her needs and preferences. 

 

Recognizing that every person is different, I strive to develop an individualized treatment plan for each client.  While there is no one definitive form of therapy recommended for eating disorders, I develop a treatment plan for each individual utilizing the most effective “evidence-based” forms of therapy such as in depth Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
