Introduction
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice serving Williamstown, MA, Bennington, VT, and Hoosick Falls, NY and surrounding areas and specializing in the treatment of eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, emotional eating, compulsive exercise, body image disturbance and dissatisfaction). I also have experience working with trauma and related addictions, relationship issues (broadly defined), mood and anxiety problems, and challenges with respect to pregnancy, labor/childbirth, and parenthood.
My approach to treatment is psychodynamic, with the goal of helping people to know themselves and the issues underlying their present difficulties more deeply, but I draw on techniques from other schools of psychological thought to translate insights into action in order to provide symptom relief and to promote change. I am also influenced in my work by Eastern religious perspectives and when appropriate, draw on the philosophical concepts and practices of these traditions in my work with patients. I conduct individual, couples, and group psychotherapy with both women and men from adolescence onward, and I am sensitive to issues of culture and diversity.
