I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and received my M.S. and Ph.D. in Child Development and Family Studies from Purdue University.  Over the past 25 years, my work has been dedicated to the treatment and prevention of eating disorders.  Through that work, I have gained extensive experience treating the full spectrum of eating and feeding disorders as well as the challenges that often co-occur with those diagnoses.   ​In my clinical work, I have guided individuals and families across age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic boundaries with a deep commitment to understanding each individual's unique story as it is situated within their particular context and history.  From this foundation of understanding and trust, I help guide the process of developing a renewed sense of meaning and purpose, developing flexibility across all domains of life, and learning to appreciate and trust one's body as well as oneself and relationships. I am a fierce believer in the power of both connection and knowledge that is based on the intersection of science and experience and use both as the foundation of my work.​
