Biography
I am a private practice psychotherapist in Los Angeles specializing in women affected in any way by an eating disorder. It's my great joy to see how women in recovery transform their lives.
I'm the author of Healing Your Hungry Heart, an eating disorder recovery book for women filled with stories, meditations and exercises for health and freedom. It is published by Conari Press and will be available August, 2011.
What's best for me is being close to and part of active, healthy creativity with family, friends,colleagues, patients and people I meet through the internet.
