Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Opening up about: your eating disorder to a therapist will open the door to recovering from it. Please remember that and it will help you. Please consider seeing a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders. Your current therapist may know of someone. Peace and good health. Courage. You can do it!

Faith and bravery: A counselor has one purpose-to help YOU. They are not there to judge. In truth, you fear is related to your own judgment of yourself about the eating disorder. Being authentic and vulnerable takes faith and bravery BUT by deciding to take action to help yourself you CAN commit to telling the truth. Know that you are not alone. You are not broken or bad. You are human-seeking assistance. We all are
