As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in evidence-based treatment for eating disorders and obesity, as well as for anxiety and mood disorders. The goal of my work is to empower patients to break away from emotional struggles that keep them stuck and help steer their lives in directions that are personally meaningful.

Having owned and operated the Eating Disorders Institute of New Mexico for decades, I retired in May 2018, thinking I was ready to slow down. As it turned out, I was not at all ready, and so I joined Sage in May 2020. Helping patients create the lives they want makes this job very hard to quit. So here I am—retired but not retired!

In addition to clinical work, I volunteer for numerous local and national organizations serving both underprivileged populations and professional objectives. My leisure time is joyfully spent with grandchildren, ballroom dancing, and lazy afternoons curled up with a good book.
