I think it was sometime around 1984 when I realized that I had a bizarre relationship with food and my body. Want to start your healing process right now? Join the mailing list for lots of tips and support and information about upcoming classes, coaching programs and support groups and pick up your copy of Reclaiming Yourself From Binge Eating. I advocate a mindfulness based, non-diet, intuitive eating approach to recovery.

My intention is to create a safe recovery community with tips and strategies that will help people to recover from binge eating, compulsive eating, bulimia, and other difficult eating patterns. This is a pro-recovery, anti-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES) informed site. I see the value in constant support, educational resources and community when trying to recover from food issues. Please email me if you have any questions or need advice regarding your particular eating issue.

Reading this blog isn’t a substitute for treatment, but my deepest desire has always been to do my part in helping to make recovery accessible and possible for those who don’t have access to treatment.

In fact, it wouldn’t be included in the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) for six more years! At the time, there was such little information on BED. Because I understand the difficulty in getting treatment (be it the cost, the inaccessible nature of treatment, or the problems with actually incorporating treatment with life) I decided, back in 2007, to create this blog to help people deal specifically with Binge Eating Disorder. I have advanced Psychological training in treating Eating Disorders. I have trained at several different Eating Disorder facilities, and have worked at various Eating Disorder Treatment Centers doing individual and group therapy as well as hypnotherapy and meditation for healing.

I am a San Francisco psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders and the author of Reclaiming Yourself From Binge Eating: A Step-by-Step Guide to Healing. I have been working professionally in the eating disorder recovery community since 2005, and have been involved as a volunteer and participant since 1999.
