I’m an addictions and eating disorder therapist and the founder and treatment developer of Beacon by MC. I began my professional path after not being able to find a sustainable solution for my own food addiction. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from Cornell University and masters in social work from Columbia University. I also have extensive training in Substance Use, Eating Disorders and am intensively trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

I’m also a normal gal with a generally fantastic life. I’m a godmother, dog-lover, a reluctant yoga enthusiast (most happy when class is over). I’m not a masterchef or a meal-prep fanatic. Though I’m long broken up with Sugar, I’m a terrible cook who eats out most of the time. Just ask the unopened Cuisinart in my kitchen.
