When I finished my Bachelors Degree in child development, I decided to pursue my Masters Degree in social welfare. I wanted to work as a psychotherapist because I felt I could make more of an impact with people one-to-one.
I have worked with a wide variety of people of different ages, cultures, and socioeconomic levels. I have learned more from the people that I have worked with than in classes, seminars or by reading books.
In 1993, I was employed at a large health maintenance organization in California when the opportunity emerged for me to learn more about eating disorders. I worked both individually and in-group psychotherapy sessions with people who were struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder.
I have continued my practice for the past 13 years. I work closely with a team of professionals who also specialize in eating disorders. These people include a Family Practice Doctor, Psychiatrist, and Registered Dietician. I work with people of all ages.
