My therapy specialties are in the treatment of eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and relationships. Although I utilize numerous strategies to help my clients achieve their goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and The Gottman Method for couples are my preferred treatment approaches and I hold advanced training in these therapy modalities.

As an eating disorder specialist, I  received expert training during my clinical experience in university counseling centers and at The Renfrew Center — a comprehensive residential eating disorders program located in Coconut Creek, Florida.

At The Renfrew Center, I began as a post-doctoral resident then was invited to join senior staff as a supervisor and manager. I developed patient programming and trained numerous clinicians and student interns. I'm dedicated to eating disorder awareness and have spoken at several training seminars and advocacy events within the community. Since 2008, I've provided individual, couples, family and group therapies for adolescents and adults with eating disorders and co-occurring disorders within my private practice.

Both my Master's and Doctoral degrees were awarded from Nova Southeastern University – Center for Psychological Studies. I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology.

In addition to my private practice — The Psychology Group Fort Lauderdale — I've served as a university professor, career counselor, researcher, writer, and even a professional food critic. Click here to make an appointment or contact me.
