I am an Expert in Adolescent Eating Disorders 

and Parent and Caregiver Support.

​

And I'm also a parent, like you, trying to raise my kids

and keep my sanity. 

I love working with adolescents. Their spunk, their passion, their emotional intensity: it is a joy to spend my days speaking teenager. As Amy Poehler's character famously said in Mean Girls, they "keep me young". (If you don't get that reference, run- don't walk- to see this movie. I am serious. I'll wait.) But in all seriousness, it is a gift to see the change and insight teens are capable of.

 

I also love working with Parents. In my experience, no one is more motivated to do hard work than a Parent whose child is struggling. Combine that with the miracles that can happen when we leverage the love a parent has for their child and we have a magical superpower on our hands.

​

As a parent myself, I bring a deep understanding for the challenges that arise when we love our children deeply and they are struggling.

​

In my nearly decade of work, seeing first-hand how involving parents in the treatment of teens has led to the best outcomes (with research to support these findings), I have specialized my focus on coaching, teaching and supporting parents, so they can support their teens and young adults.

 

In short, I believe that if parents get these skills, they, and their children, are better off. End of sentence. 

​

And because I have such confidence in parents, I am able bring my signature high energy and a bit of humor to all the work I do, ideally making online classes, workshops and coaching with me not only powerful and effective,

but also easy to digest. (So to speak!)
