Eating disorders are complex conditions that affect far more than food or weight. They often develop as ways of coping with overwhelming emotions, trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, or difficult life experiences. Recovery involves more than changing eating behaviors—it requires understanding the emotional, relational, and physiological patterns that contribute to the disorder while developing new ways of relating to yourself.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing a wide range of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, compulsive exercise, and other disordered eating patterns. Treatment is individualized and collaborative, recognizing that every person’s relationship with food, body image, and recovery is unique.

I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and an IAEDP Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant (CEDS-C). My clinical experience began in residential treatment, where I worked with adolescents experiencing severe eating disorders as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team that included physicians, psychiatrists, dietitians, and therapists. I later continued this work in community mental health, providing treatment to individuals with eating disorders while helping clients access specialized resources despite significant barriers to care.

Today, my private practice continues to emphasize collaborative, multidisciplinary treatment. I work closely with physicians, psychiatrists, registered dietitians, and other healthcare professionals because comprehensive care is often essential for lasting recovery.

My approach integrates evidence-informed therapies including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, Relational Gestalt Therapy, Yoga Therapy, attachment-focused psychotherapy, and other experiential approaches. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, treatment addresses the emotional, relational, and nervous system patterns that often contribute to the development and maintenance of eating disorders.

Recovery is possible. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or supporting a loved one, therapy can provide a safe and compassionate space to develop a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
