Connection to others in recovery from a disordered eating is essential. I offer group therapy for women in
which we address disordered eating, and weight and body image concerns. I have two open-ended groups:one for women with undereating/restricting/over-exercising/bingeing
and/or purging problems, the other for women struggling with overeating/binge eating/emotional eating/dieting and/or obesity.
Group membership is limited to 8. Group is designed to be part of a treatment and recovery program, and members are required
to be in individual therapy (with me or another therapist).
Both groups meet on alternating
Monday evenings, 5:30-7 p.m. Group is a supportive place in which to explore and heal disordered relationships with food and
body through interpersonal relationship dynamics, as well as development of effective tools and skills. It's a place
to laugh and cry together as members work and grow together. Group is also intended to be a place to create a recovery
support system, so I encourage contact between members outside of group.
The fee is $50 for
each group meeting. Prospective members must meet with me for an intake prior to attending their first group.This lasts about
1/2 hour and costs $50.
I periodically teach "Yoga for Eating and Body Concerns" workshops. These
are 8-class series that weave together yoga philosophy, journaling exercises, mindfulness meditation and hatha yoga practice
for a focus on shifting our relationships with our bodies from conflicted, anxious or ashamed to comfortable, relaxed and
appreciative-- perhaps even reverent! Contact me to find out when the next session will begin.
