Eating Disorders

I specialize in treating eating disorders, employing a collaborative approach by closely working with medical doctors and registered dietitians to provide comprehensive care. As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I anchor my approach to addressing disordered eating behaviors, helping clients reconnect with their intuitive relationship with food. I am committed to incorporating discussions of privilege, socio-economic class, and trauma to provide a culturally sensitive treatment experience.

Many of us feel disconnected from our bodies and frustrated with our relationship to food. You may be trapped in a cycle of restrictive and binge eating that leaves you feeling out of control and mistrusting of your body's intuition. I use a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to create a safe space to help people of all sizes heal from disordered eating and negative body image.

Struggles with food and body are much more complex than thoughts of vanity. Many of my clients discuss feeling pressure to conform, being overwhelmed with stress, negative self-talk, confusion about what health looks like, and feeling out of control around food. We will address your concerns at the root and help you discover self-acceptance and food freedom.

For the past seven years, I have worked with clients struggling with eating disorders at the partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient level. After working as a milieu therapist, primary therapist, and group therapy facilitator at an eating disorder treatment center, I began working as an outpatient therapist in private practice specifically focusing on members of the LGBTQ+ community who struggle with body image and eating

Having worked at a residential eating disorder facility for over 15 years, I am knowledgable and passionate about helping individuals who struggle with bulimia nervosa, anorexia, binge eating disorder, food addiction, and emotional eating. In my experience, we begin using food as a way to control things when most other things are outside of our control. It starts as a solution that over time becomes a problem that is difficult to address without support.

I have experience working with people with eating disorders in the outpatient and residential levels of care.

Getting help for an eating disorder or disordered eating can feel daunting. I believe that eating disorders are developed as a coping skill to help people get through difficult times in their lives. While they're effective, they're often harmful, and treatment sometimes looks like replacing them with more adaptive techniques and skills. I will work to go at a pace you're comfortable with, and we can slowly work to find stability with food, your body, and your sense of self.

I have over 10 years experience working with eating disorders and am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist where I must be active in continuing education as the field grows and we learn more about the body and eating disorders. I work in a treatment team approach and often refer to trained dietitians and medical professionals to more fully support someone struggling with an eating disorder. I also provide support therapy via family therapy or parent sessions to support a loved on in recovery.

I am a certified intuitive eating counselor and take a weight neutral, non diet, and fat positive approach to care. Behaviors with food are so often what is on the surface that we can see but the majority of disordered eating behaviors stem from something much deeper and as a way to cope. I take a collaborative approach to care and work closely with dietitians and other medical providers on the complexities an nuances of recovery work.

Many of our therapists have received advanced training in eating disorders and have years of experience helping clients overcome disruptive eating behaviors.

I have expertise in disordered eating, body image and self esteem, particularly binge eating, body dysmorphia, restricting and over-exercise. Our work is a mix of understanding and modifying behaviors while also exploring the personal, family, social and cultural influences that contributed to their development.

I provide therapy for adolescents and young adults across the full spectrum of disordered eating, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and picky eating. My expertise is in individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family-based treatment (FBT), and parent coaching. My therapeutic style is informed by dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and includes skill building for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

An eating disorder is a mental disorder defined by abnormal eating behaviors that adversely affect a person's physical or mental health. Common types include binge eating disorder, where a person eats a large amount in a short period of time; anorexia nervosa, where the person has an intense fear of gaining weight and restricts food or overexercises to manage this fear, & bulimia nervosa, where individuals eat a large quantity (binging) then try to rid themselves of the food (purging).

Eating disorders are a range of psychological conditions that cause unhealthy eating habits to develop. They might start with an obsession with food, body weight, or body shape. In severe cases, eating disorders can cause serious health consequences and may even result in death if left untreated.
