Question
i have a hard time gaining weight im 5'8 and weights 130 for many years now i believe i have an eating disorder
Norma- I would need more information such as how long you've been at your current weight. What you've weighed in the past. What your current eating habits are and what they've been like. Why you think you have an eating disorder. And your age and activity level. Please reply back and let me know so I can form a better answer rather than just a generic one. Thanks.

Expertise
I can answer questions specifically geared towards athletes and their eating issues. I would be able to assist parents or coaches with questions or concerns about disordered eating practices often found in the exercise and sports settings. I also have experience in training and conditioning so I am in a position to discus how the two interrelate.
Experience
I have a bachelor's degree in sports medicine and master's degrees in sport psychology and clinical counseling. I have done counseling with individuals, couples, and families, with specialization in athletes. Past clients have included triathletes, dancers, college cyclists, and Pro Tour cyclists.
