Mission

To prevent and treat disordered eating in any age group, male or female and to assist those who have poor eating habits make the necessary changes to achieve optimal health and weight. I strive for all my clients to become normal healthy eaters. I prefer the non diet approach but find it necessary at times to plan individualized eating plans for some clients.

Information

I have been in private practice since 1980 and have specialized in the treatment of eating disorders since 1990. I suffered with eating disorders as a young person. I want those who suffer with this illness to know that they can recover completely too if they receive the proper treatment.

Products/Services

Individual counseling-Initial visit is 90 minutes($120.00), followup visit are 60 minutes($80.00) and all remaining visits are 30 minutes($40.00). Insurance doesnt't generally cover nutrition counseling in Virginia but you may want to check.(I work closely with other professionals in the area who treat disordered eating and can provide referrals to therapists and psychiatrists if necesary.)
Talks and seminars-(time permitting)
No groups at this time

News

I am starting a new program with a metabolic analyzer that can measure exactly the number of calories burned on a daily basis at rest. It is FDA approved and takes only 30 minutes to perform. You can finally see if your metabolic rate is slow, fast or normal. As a result, weight changes can be achieved easier and more quickly.
