About Us
read moreI find that many years of experience in private practice continues to improve my knowledge and my ability to understand and to help my patients. However, no matter how knowledgeable I am as a psychologist, no matter how many patients I have seen who have similar problems, no two patients or families are exactly the same. What I know about you depends upon what you are willing to reveal to me. Although I am an expert in the field of psychology, I have no skills as a mind reader. I only know what my patient tells me and shows me.

The great emphasis upon the importance and attractiveness of a slim, svelte figure causes an over-evaluation of appearance as a determination of self-worth. This accounts for our national obsession with fad diets and weight control programs. Some people may be on and off diets sporadically over a long period of time without any major disruption of their physical and mental health.
