What I can help you with:

• Anorexia Nervosa

• Bulimia Nervosa

• Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)

Many of my clients share that they spend hours on end thinking about food, exercise, weight, or their bodies. They compare themselves to others, are driven by food rules, and feel completely consumed by the need to change their bodies. They’re constantly exhausted from the mental chatter and recognize that their disordered eating is having a negative impact on many areas of their life, including relationships, school/work, and their health. They may have been through treatment before and feel discouraged that they’re still struggling, or they may have never received proper care and feel lost on how to move forward. With eating disorders, it’s also common to feel ambivalent about making changes.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). 

In sessions, we meet you where you’re at. Together, we can get curious about what these patterns are doing for you, understand what's underneath them, and work toward a relationship with food and your body that takes up a lot less space in your life. We start to implement small changes and explore the needs driving certain behaviors. Eating disorder recovery work can look like a lot of things. It may be incorporating self-compassion, healing old wounds, rewriting narratives, or learning how to navigate the weight-focused society around us. 

Oftentimes, how you relate to your body and food speaks to your relationship with yourself, unresolved pain, and feelings of self-worth. In therapy, we work on removing judgment often attached to body weight, shape and size, as well as food choices with the goal of feeling free in our bodies and nourishing ourselves both physically and emotionally. All people are deserving of a peaceful relationship with their bodies. I can help you find what that looks like for you.

Support for Adolescents & Families

Eating disorders don't just affect the person struggling. They impact the entire family. I have experience treating eating disorders across different levels of care, from residential treatment to outpatient therapy. For adolescents, I also provide Family-Based Treatment (FBT), an evidence-based approach that actively involves parents and caregivers in supporting their child's recovery. Parents often come in feeling scared and unsure of what they're supposed to do. Part of our work is providing you with the information and tools to respond to challenges in a more effective way and feel more confident supporting your child through recovery.
