I am a fully licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated in 1990 with a BA in Psychology and in 1993 with a MA in Social Work from the State University of New York at Stonybrook.
I started my career in Atlanta in the Decatur Hospital Eating Disorder/Substance Abuse Program as a full time therapist and then became the Assistant Director of the Inpatient Psychiatric Unit at Dekalb Medical Center. In 1999, I obtained my clinical licensure and started a private practice.
I specialize in the recovery from severe traumas such as child sexual abuse, loss of a child/spouse, victims of violence, war crimes, cult abuse, severe medical issues and other life altering situations. I also specialize in the treatment of eating disorders such as Anorexia, Bulimia, and Compulsive Overeating.
I have a long history of working with other psychological issues and that list is found in my "Service" section of this website.
I take both a supportive, yet direct approach to our sessions offering coaching as well as being a good listener. I believe that what one does outside of the therapy session is just as important as our time together and so I offer goals to work on between sessions. I do not prescribe medications, but I do my best to familiarize myself with most psychiatric medications and attempt to take a team approach with any doctors involved with your care.
